Hi all-
I may be dreaming, but I seem to remember maybe renting a Laser Disc player and one or more discs at some point (maybe about 1990-1992, but it could have been before I got my Pioneer CLD-3030 in 1988-89), and the player or its on-screen display had more detail in its time readout from at least one Extended Play disc. Since minutes and seconds are common on most discs since the early 1980s, the only finer detail I can imagine is maybe a frame count, such as 1-30 in each second on the disc. The player being a Yamaha seems pretty specific, I know it was not a Pioneer-branded machine.
On top of this, I think I have seen the vertical interval on a display while playing a newer extended-play disc, and I saw changes in the data potentially in every frame versus once per second. Maybe it was closed-caption data?
Can any of you confirm what I am describing, or tell me that I am definitely wrong? Thank you.

It is entirely possible that I had some type of bizarre dream after eating too much pizza too close to bed time one night; I will not deny that this could be the explanation for this memory. But if I am -not- remembering a dream, then: This was definitely on a CLV/CAA laser disc. My comments about frame numbers (1-30 per second for NTSC video) is related to "time code" as used in professional video editing systems, where video is encoded that way (minutes, seconds, frame number within any given second). In this discussion: Tom Levin compares Pioneer CLD-D701 and Panasonic LX-900One person mentions seeing a CLV frame count display on a Panasonic LX-900 player, and LDDB member cplusplus mentions the ability of CLV discs to have frame numbers encoded. Also mentioned is the standard IEC 60857, but this seems to be an expensive document, nut something that can be downloaded and read free of charge. So, it is all a mystery to me still.
