This article is about 'CD Video', a hybrid analog/digital format. For the more successful all-digital format, see
Video CD (VCD). CD Video (also known as CDV, CD-V, or CD+V) was a format introduced in the mid-
1980s that combined the technologies of
compact disc and
laserdisc. CD-V discs were the same size as an audio CD, and contained up to 20 minutes worth of audio information that could be played on any audio CD player. It also contained up to 5 minutes of analog video information, which could be played back on a newer laserdisc player capable of playing CD-V discs. One of the first laserdisc players that could play CD-V discs as well was the
Pioneer CLD-1010 from
1987.
