Definition of CD Video
CD Video (also known as CDV, CD-V, or CD+V) is a format of optical media disc that was introduced in 1987 that combines the technologies of standard compact disc and LaserDisc. CD-V discs are the same size as a standard 12 cm (4.7 in) audio CD, and contain up to 20 minutes of CD audio that can be played on any audio CD player. They also contain up to 5 minutes of analog LaserDisc video information with a digital CD-quality soundtrack, which can be played back on a newer LaserDisc player capable of playing CD-V discs or CD-V-only players.
The "CD Video" brand was also used to market some 20 cm (7.9 in) and 30 cm (12 in) LaserDiscs which included a digital soundtrack but no CD-compatible content.
