CBM 8000 VIDEO CD |
![]() |
FROM GAEYLNE GASSON , AUSTRALIA
I loved the commercials (most of which I'd never seen), and I had never heard the radio jingles before. The 8000 series was presented very well - I knew nothing about the series till seeing this, and was amazed by some of the peripherals. I am really impressed with the amount of information and great humour that's in this video I hope it gets shown at a show or Expo or several of them, as this ... well, I reckon I've just seen a 'classic'. I'd love to see more like this one. A VCD is just a CD with a video on it, such as a home movie or a wedding. It's not the VCD that's important, it's the material on it that matters. Like a videotape. A demo of a videotape would be pretty boring, but a videotape with a Commodore story on it ... well, that's different. < g > In the case of Ken's VCD, it's a video with 100% Commodore material.
It has TV and radio commercials about the Vic20 and C64, a few home
made 'Captain Commodore' comics, and then a pictoral display (with
audio explaining what you're seeing) of the Commodore 8000 business series How would you show a VCD at an Expo? You'd need a TV and a DVD player that can handle VCDs. Plug them in, put chairs around, and there you go. :-) Cheers (and Applause!), Gaelyne (who normally doesn't gush about stuff, but WOW, this was excellent!) http://Gaelyne.com http://videocam.net.au http://vcsweb.com |

Pauline said she had "given up the will to live" by the time it got
to the CBM printers section, and went out of the room.
