LV-ROM

LV-ROM is an optical disc format developed by Philips Electronics to integrate analog video and computer software for interactive multimedia.

The format had only one application: to publish documentary video, children's writings, and other historical records compiled from 1984 to 1986 for the BBC Domesday Project.

[disputed – discuss] The Domesday Project LV-ROM discs were played using a BBC Master computer connected via SCSI-1[2] to a Philips AIV VP415 Laserdisc player.

Like magnetic tape, the playback speed corresponds with picture quality and audio definition of analog audio-video streams.

Since Pioneer intended LD-ROMs primarily for computer software, they chose CLV technology to increase the file storage capacity.
