LV-ROM

LV-ROM (LaserVision Read-Only Memory) and LD-ROM (LaserDisc Read-Only Memory) are similar but incompatible optical disc formats that combine analog LaserDisc video with digitally encoded computer data. Both were developed to support interactive multimedia by integrating analog video playback with computer-controlled navigation and overlays. While LV-ROM was developed in the 1980s primarily for educational and documentary purposes, LD-ROM was introduced in the 1990s to support video game software for consumer entertainment systems.
