WHY IS THE SLICE OF LIFE OR SLICE OF BRAIN ON VIDEODISC AND NOT ON CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, OR DVD-VIDEODISC?
Do not confuse the SLICE OF LIFE or SLICE OF BRAIN laservision videodisc with CD-ROM or DVD-ROM and DVD-Videodisc technologies. SOL VII and SOB I are traditional 12-inch videodiscs whose images can be seen by connecting the output of the laserdisc player to a television monitor. It offers instant random access to any of the 54,000 frames. These frames are not stored as individual picture files as you would find with a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. The DVD videodiscs use MPEG2 compression to encode movies onto the small CD-Audio sized discs. MPEG2 is designed for motion compression, not stills.
