CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

[emceebois]

Which disks were banded for random access? That doesn't seem to have any kind of searchable category or dedicated subpage on the CED Magic website that I can find. I've been trying to make a list (so I know what to try to collect for) and come up with the following:

The retail ones collectors probably know already

* The DisneyDisc of Mystery and Magic
* The Entertainment Game
* The Life and Work of Michelangelo
* Mystery Disc: Many Roads to Murder
* Mystery Disc: Murder, Anyone?
* Space Shuttle- Mission Reports STS 5, 6 & 7
* A Week at the Races

The non-retail ones collectors probably know already

* Entertainment Game - RCA Prototype Demo
* Hawaii & Southern California Sun Vacations
* Hoyle's Last Resort
* NFL Football: San Diego Chargers vs. Oakland Raiders
* NFL Football: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins
* RCA Engineering Demo Disc
* Rocky Mountain Ski Vacations
* A Walk Through the Universe

Other disks with "Banded for Random Access" on the caddy
(Or lists of Bands on the back)

* ABC Mantrap
* Aerobicise: The Beginning Workout
* Allegro Non Troppo
* The Allman Brothers Band: Brothers of the Road
* American Graffiti
* Ashford & Simpson
* Beany and Cecil
* The Best of Judy Garland
* Blues Alive
* The Blues Brothers
* Bullwinkle & Rocky & Friends, Vol. 1
* Bullwinkle & Rocky & Friends, Vol. 2
* Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
* Free To Be...You And Me/Mandy's Grandmother
* Golden Door Productions presents: Gospel
* He-Man and the Masters of the Universe vol. 2
* Muppet Home Video: Fraggle Songs vol. 1
* Picture Music
* Popeye Vol. 1
* Roxy Music
* The Royal Ballet Covent Garden: Swan Lake

Might or might not be banded for Random Access, it's unclear
* Billy Joel Live from Long Island


I imagine that the third category shouldn't be too hard to add to with the (CED) magic of crowdsourcing information from a bunch of collectors. So pretty please with a cherry on top, help make my life harder by adding to my "must buy" list!

Have I got good news for you, lol. Sorta.

So I have a copy of the final master list from Bob Huck, the 2nd half of the list has every title as well as all the info about each title. I created a spreadsheet so we would have a searchable database but I wasn't able to copy all the info over with my image to text software. So I was going through and manually adding it. But I didn't get very far, it's a very time consuming process. But if you know an easier way to do it that would be great.

Here is the link to the master list on PDF

and here is the link to the spreadsheet. You will see there are pages on the bottom with different lists that exist and info from them. Select the Bob Huck final list and feel free to finish filling in the info. Then you mearly search for all titles that are a 61 and it will give you a list of every single title that was banded.

Have fun and send me an email when you are done, I'd love to see the results. Thanks.
