I am interested in purchasing a videodisc player but I'm not sure how to
begin.  There's a lot of terminology (CLV?  8-bit sampling?) that I'm
unsure about and I'm not familiar with all the videodisc manufacturers.
What's a good resource for finding out more about this technology so I
can make an intelligent purchase decision?

Now, if someone has specific recommendations for manufacturers or specific
models, I'd love to hear about it.  I think I'm looking for a videodisc
player which can:
 
Play motion videodiscs as well as discs with just stills
Play audio CDs of various sizes (this isn't critical)
Can play both sides of a disk without flipping
Can be controlled from a computer, like the Pioneer LD6000V.

Mail to mike%bushido.uucp@umich.edu (Internet) would be really appreciated!
