PHEW! DONE.

Isn't there a "first" or "only" colored (non silver) laserdisc(s)?

I still have Clear and Present Danger and would like to listen to it in Dolby AC-3. Was the second release not STAR TREK Generations?

2nd release was Forrest Gump I believe.

Maybe it was too pricey at the time and I could only afford Generations.

What was the first CAV Laserdisc pressing to be used exclusively on all sides? (don't you just love it turning it over every 30mins).

This one makes me laugh

The first MCA DiscoVision releases were all CAV - a film like JAWS or Airport '77 was all CAV and originally sold for $15.95. CLV hadn't been perfected, so for the first two years or so all LaserDisc's were CAV. About 80 films were released in the CAV format only from 1978 till 1980 or so.

Yes, right that would explain why the discs could be paused with the picture! As all the CLV discs produced a blue screen or whatever until digital freeze came along in the 90's.
