This exact cartridge was actually discussed on Reddit just recently! https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthin ... e_village/Apparently it's a subtitle cartridge for a certain type of LaserDisc player, from what they were able to dig up. That said, though, that's basically all the information about it that seems to be available, but I have a feeling someone here might have some more insight or know where to find it. This IS LaserDisc Database, after all.

I have an LIGITEK LG-925 CC Decoder. It has a port, that can be used to plug in Cartridges, maybe this machine would accept these cardridges? I can post a picture if you like. I always wondered how these cardridges would look like, since I only use it for the CC subtitles.

Yes, this is the cartridge for Chinese (traditional) subtitle. At the very early stage of LD playback in China, only titles with original soundtrack were available on the market. Then this subtitle machine was introduced which is somehow equivalent to a LD-G decoder. When you buy a title you need to buy the LD and the accompanied cartridge as a set. When you play a title back, it will need the machines to work together.

I recently bought a couple of these 'subtitle decoders' - a "U-BEST UC-5100R" and a "Ligitek LG-505A" - and a selection of cartridges on eBay Fun to play with for 5 minutes anyway. What did intrigue me is that the decoder can retrieve a lot of information about the discs being played, which is evidently encoded on the video signal. * Disc Type - CAV/CLV * Elapsed time (CLV) * Frame number (CAV) * Disc side number (1,2 or X if not available). I'd not realised before that this info. was available 'outside' the player... The cartridges I have mostly have colour stickers with an image of the LaserDisc they're for on them. Some have the Pioneer-style 'LaserDisc' logo embossed in the plastic - I wonder if this was ever a product endorsed by Pioneer? Probably not. Also wondering if the cartridges are 'hot-swappable' - but I'm not going to risk finding out
