Yeah, Selectavision was a name for a whole line of RCA products. For example, we have a selectavision VHS VCR. But people tend to remember the CED discs the most, so that's often a nickname for them.

The RCA format is called CED, and they're vinyl records that aren't writable. Laservision is Philips/Pioneer/MCA, also known as Laserdisc, Laser videodisc, CD-Video (CDV), and Discovision.
For pro/commercial markets, there are disc recorders for both.

Just wanted to comment and say I'm truly honored by everyone who has supported this year - our newsletters and posts make this look like we have this all planned out - and while there is definitely a plan, this has been a very difficult move. Thanks for hanging with us and sharing our news!

So saddened to lose Burger Becky, teller of stories, coder of games, ports, libraries. Becky was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma just 2 months ago. The gofundme was to help with her care; now it's for the funeral.
