Recordable video-disks appear to be more practical than conventional
analogue/tape recorders, especially with the advantages of
random access, digital recording and mechanical durability.

Are the recordable video-disks WORM drives (or can they be re-recorded)?
Disk capacity?
Playback speed?
Any other details?
