Never had CED back in the day, but if I would have heard that intro as a kid I would have come running. It screams 'It's movie time' as loud as the popcorn popper.

When I was a little kid I had war of the worlds on video disc and the first jingle preceded the intro to war of the worlds....not gonna lie it was somewhat terrifying

Forget the movie, I just want to get up and clap for thr RCA CED intros!

Only those who grew up during this time can appreciate the state-of-the-art technology of its time...

Nothing says "state-of-the-art" like a product that failed on release _because_ it was outdated kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqKkupqdaN24eaQ.html

That first jingle is so good. Imagine that in front of Alien, Terminator or some other really good 80s movie.

A lot of the movies I had on video discs had the second intro. "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Saturday Night Fever" had the first intro. "A Fist Full of Dollars", "Dumbo", "North to Alaska" and "Tron" all had the second intro.

Both openings are pure magic

At 0:00, the music was called the electronic version of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition by Isao Tomita!

Back when these were popular anytime you'd see and hear the fanfare, no matter which one, it means "Get the soda, get the popcorn! IT'S MOVIE TIME!"

I remember both of these! Been trying to found out where the first one came from for years, didn't know it was a format-specific intro.

Nostalgia overdose! Thanks for posting this!

the first one goes from 90s to 80s to 70s

Love it. Our first video player was the RCA Selectavision CED PLAYER. (July, 1982) The excitement of watching our favorite programs uncut with no commercials. Our first CED Disk came with the player. It was "On Golden Pond" 1981 movie. First time we ever seen that movie. It was a lot better than we expected. I still have dozens of CED's. And the player. But the player needs work. We didn't get our first VCR until 1984. The CED seemed to have better picture and sound. But was prone to skipping.

Even new discs skipped. Horrible format. LaserDisc was the way better alternative but it was 10x as expensive (especially due to the need of a HeNe-laser tube). It broke down when video rental shops came up everywhere. Then the cost effectiveness of a pressed vinyl disc compared to a video tape wasn't important anymore.

The first one just makes me feel good inside

The second one was used on our "North to Alaska" disk and on the "Dumbo" disk. The first on "Fiddler on the Roof".

ahh, memories.. skipping frame fun! remembers pulling the video record disc out to mess it up worse because it had scratches.. lmfao! eh, the early 80s. no way man, gunna have flashbacks now. or modify the chasis so you can 'bear down' on the needle and then ya get snow on the screen. lmfao, didn't have solid humor like that with laser or vhs. then again.. uh CED had a special 'fail magic' to it... ahhh, then thomson consumer electronics chimed in and it was all over. oh well.

I was walking through the parking lot to my apartment and I’m pretty sure I heard someone playing this on trumpet. Either I’m going crazy, or I’m not the only person in my complex who knows what SelectaVision is

Nah, the original tune is from Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky which is played on trumpet

Use your VHS vcr videorecorders and blank VHS tapes to get even with the news media and tell your friends to just use their vcr videorecorders

it's crazy how Laserdisc and ced almost bankrupted RCA when here we are 35 years later and Laserdiscs son the DVD is the golden standard

Not sure who did the first logo but the second is by Robert Abel and Associates

still got few movies for selectavision.
