OK,
Lets say I want to play around with interactive video discs.
Obviously, I have a computer. Now I need a video disc player.
0) Which is the best video disc player to buy?
1) Are there any consumer video disc players that can
be controlled by computer?
2) Are there any 'professional' video disc players that
can play 5" CD-V discs?
3) RS-232 control is preferable to HP-IB control (for me),
are there any advantages of one over the other (aside from cost?)
4) After I get a video disc player, and hack up some code to
control it from my computer, what are some good discs to
buy?
If you don't want to post, you can send me mail, but
I don't remember seeing these issues discussed here before,
and its not like there is much volume in this newsgroup....
