It was the first optical disc storage medium to go on the market, and was the basis for future disc formats such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays (we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/product\/short-top-boxes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Short Top Boxes<\/a> for storing these formats). They were also called DiscoVision, LaserVision, and VLP (video long play).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LaserDisc did not catch on like its videotape competitors VHS and Betamax. LaserDiscs had superior visual and audio quality, but they were more expensive and could not record shows from your television. They were more popular in Japan and among cinephiles. The format reached it&#8217;s peak in the 1990s and by 2000 sales of new discs in North America had stopped. Pioneer stopped production of LaserDisc players in 2009. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/LASERDISC_TURTLE_fair_use.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22885 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 360px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 360\/270;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Both sides of a laser disc looked similar. On a single sided disc, if you inserted the disc the wrong way this message would appear.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Another drawback to the LaserDisc format was that you needed to flip the disc over part way through your movie. The discs contained about one hour of content per side. At the end of side one a turtle icon like the one above would appear telling the user to flip the disk over to continue watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collecting LaserDiscs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with most 20th century media, you can always find someone collecting it! Collecting LaserDiscs is a fairly inexpensive hobby, as you can buy them at records stores or <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlaserdisc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online<\/a> for $5 &#8211; $10 each. You can find a used LaserDisc player online for a few hundred dollars. Some people buy LaserDiscs to frame and display the large graphic covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-5000-LaserDiscs-clear-lid-on-archival-methods.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22891 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-5000-LaserDiscs-clear-lid-on-archival-methods.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-5000-LaserDiscs-clear-lid-on-archival-methods-600x452.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-5000-LaserDiscs-clear-lid-on-archival-methods-768x578.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/753;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vinyl Record Storage Box with a clear acrylic cover protects records and LaserDiscs from dust and other contaminants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>LaserDiscs can degrade over time and it is referred to as disc rot. According to Wikipedia, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Disc_rot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disc rot<\/a>&nbsp;is the tendency of&nbsp;optical discs&nbsp;to become unreadable because of chemical deterioration. The causes include&nbsp;oxidation&nbsp;of the reflective layer, reactions with contaminants,&nbsp;ultra-violet&nbsp;light damage, and de-bonding of the adhesive used to adhere the layers of the disc together. Some deterioration is the result of certain manufacturing practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storing LaserDiscs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All media will eventually degrade, but you can slow down the process with proper storage techniques. Store LaserDiscs somewhere in your living space that is climate controlled and out of direct UV light. LaserDiscs have a 12 inch diameter just like a long playing vinyl record. That means their outer cardboard sleeves are the same dimensions and LaserDiscs fit nicely into our archival <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/product\/vinyl-record-storage-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vinyl Record Storage Box<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/product\/vinyl-record-storage-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-5000-LaserDiscs-solid-lid-BLOG.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22887 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-5000-LaserDiscs-solid-lid-BLOG.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-5000-LaserDiscs-solid-lid-BLOG-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/18-5000-LaserDiscs-solid-lid-BLOG-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/667;\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/product\/vinyl-record-storage-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vinyl Record Storage Box<\/a> is available with a solid cover (18-5000-12-P), as well as a clear cover (18-5000-12) or without a cover (18-Slipcase-12). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not store your LaserDiscs (or LPs) in a stack as seen above!
