CD-I is a standardized way to have interactive video and audio, but
on a special CD, not laserdisk. 

With the MPEG extension (audio/video compression), 1 hour of
VHS-quality full-motion can be stored on a CD, or 7 hours of music.
Commercially available next year. Was that what you were looking for?
