Does anyone know where you can have a videotape (something like an
M-2 studio tape) make into a videodisc for use in interactive video
presentations (with the Pioneer, Hitachi, etc. players)? Also, what
is the cost involved in such a process?
Please send any responses to me at:

The following is 'borrowed' from the article "Creating your Own Videodisc" in Signal(see previous message for address). "... For about $2000, comapanies such as 3M will press a disc master a disc master from which you can order additional copies for around $10/disc.If you only need one or two copies for in-house use, you can also order plastic or glass "check discs" from such companies as Crawford Communications, pressed overnight for about $300-500 per disc."
