HD-VMD - The conclusion
Added 2021-10-10 13:42:24 +0000 UTCI have no idea how this video got so complicated. I know how it started though. A very nice chap sent me a movie on HD-VMD. This was the missing piece to my recent HD-VMD video and it opened up a rabbit hole that I fell down and then kept burrowing.
Next thing you know it’s over a week later when I emerge from my editing fog and I've made an elaborate, wordy and long video about something very few care about. I 'm not even sure that I’m this interested in the subject. But nevertheless here it is: https://youtu.be/WsCzfENI_pU
I’ve got to try and make something simpler next time. Perhaps a two hour documentary about a blank tape.

Yes, every now and then I have a look and type the letters V.T.D.B (it stands for video description text box) and that brings up this.... *There’s a bit more information about this video in the video description.* 🔝👍 Includes updates, links etc... It's a keyboard shortcut I use...a lot. On one video I typed it sixty or so times. If you looked at any page of the comments you could see it at least twice...and yet the next person would go and ask that same question again. It's a funny old world. I still don't know why anyone would want to play the files in VLC though. Seems less than pointless to me.

2021-10-16 17:21:09 +0000 UTCI did a quick peek at the video comments, and I'm getting heartburn from all of the 'did you try to play the .VMD files in VLC?' 🤢 ugh

2021-10-16 17:18:30 +0000 UTCI do wonder if the discs were indeed 3 layers, but only at the DVD density of 4.7GB per layer (the 12GB total seems to almost hint to that) Getting an OEM to softmod a PC drive to read the layers seems far less of a challenge than the optimistic target of higher densities.
