Cutting a record onto an RCA Selectavision CED video disc? Sound Recording.

Can you take a disc that was originally cut with grooves for a movie and re-cut grooves on to it with sound? In this experiment we will try just that.

[@cedfan1]

Sacrilege ! LOL ! I'm a RCA CED collector . Interesting experiment though.

[@alvarosundfeld]

For me, that is the best record that you have been produced.

[@frankowalker4662]

This sounded better than the LD recording.

[@databits]

Yes, the surface is very smooth.

[@SammeLagom]

That sounds rather good!

[@deadguydan]

Not sure if anyone commented but that "stuff" that comes off the record may be referred to as "swarf". At least that's what it's called in machine shop fabricating lingo. Really cool experiment! But please.....stay away from my CED collection! :D

[@CESkootchy]

Have you tried recording onto a disc with a blank side to see if that would reduce the surface noise?

[@IAmNotAFunguy]

Try it next with a computer hard drive. Remove the aluminum platter from the hard drive and cut a record into that.

[@databits]

IAmNotAFunguy - Working on this. I have some platters I'm experimenting with before making a video.

[@Shreyam_io]

this channel is awesome... glad i found

[@vinylcity1599]

The good thing is all the optical disc have a "laquar" coating on it! That's similar to what the pros use! They use a metal disc coated with laquar!

[@ortizramon]

It sounds nice and clean with no static

[@databits]

RAMON ORTIZ thanks Ramon.

[@SebisRandomTech]

You should see if that disc will still play! :P

[@CoreDreamStudios]

hehe :)

[@IAmNotAFunguy]

Likely not. He carved out the existing grooves and existing surface to make a new surface with new grooves.

[@SebisRandomTech]

IAmNotAFunguy Aww you ruined my fun! :( The only reason I'm curious is because when he cut into a laserdisc, it still played through the cut part.

[@IAmNotAFunguy]

SebisGameReviews A laser disc is optical but a Selectavision disc, like a record, is mechanical.

[@databits]

SebisGameReviews Nothing like playing a 78rpm disc at 400rpm, right??

[@tghwinner1995]

The best guality cutting. Nice!

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

This is your best so far

[@AmaroqStarwind]

Makes me wonder what a modern record cutter/player would sound like at 78 speeds, especially if you used CX and quadraphonic encoders. You should get some kind of setup going to compensate for off-center and warped discs. And maybe also stick to the blank sides of discs whenever possible :p

[@ceasarsalad119]

I knew the disk would play before you played it. CEDs are vinyl, the same stuff as records

[@windoes98se]

sounds authentic

[@beerrox711]

Man I really need to get my recordio restored good vid

[@databits]

Edward Becerra Thanks for watching!

[@beerrox711]

yeah ive been watching your videos for awhile but I don't think i've commented till now

[@RobertWrightOneManCovers]

Swarf! It's also called "chip".

[@RecordCollector96]

That "stuff" is called swarf!

[@databits]

Jeremy Passarelli - Hooray for swarf! Thanks.

[@RecordCollector96]

databits Yep. No problem! :)

[@MilanCekic]

databits Or it is called CHIP? I read it somewhere.... nice video! :))

[@wii1245]

You know how to get rid of swarfs? Hook upon small vacuum hose behind the cutting needle and connect the hose to a small vaccuum, and viola! No more swarfs!

[@saltburner2]

The thread of material removed from the disc is called 'swarf'.

[@cogsinister100]

Great stuff !

[@databits]

Neil Robinson Thanks Neil.

[@richfiles]

RIP: Some movie. Rip some audio.

[@carldurrell9943]

😱😢To me Laser Discs and CEDs are all very important irreplaceable pieces of video History, interesting experiment, surely there are other things you can use that are plentiful or still being made that does not matter, if get damaged but good experiment, wonder if CD 💿 could be used or if it is to small and shiny???

[@nancycam3647]

hey man, i have an opportunity to buy 2 old record cutters for like 100$ but one of the cutting needles is burnt...the entire cutting cartridge will need to be replaced/repaired...ya wouldnt happen to have an extra one lyin around, would ya?

[@databits]

I don't, I'm sorry! eBay is a great place to start!

[@aarhead01]

Databits you should start charging for this. $15-$20 per record. People send you two audio files (one per side) and You could cut them on polycarbonate plastic and send them off. Way to make extra $$$$

[@wii1245]

Aaron Sousa and don't forget what speed they want you to record. Normal sized record-331/3; 45 sized should be 45.

[@kellynorman7452]

it seems to work great where can I get one of those that would definitely be a fun toy to have

[@wii1245]

Kelly Norman you could Vinylify your own records. Of coarse, I would like to try Vinylify.

[@TheRaveCrocker]

my question is can i play a record in my selectavision

[@danek_hren]

No you can't

[@SO_DIGITAL]

I would imagine the material this disc is made from is easier to cut that the hard plastic of the laserdisc.

[@Ikes_online_video_space_78]

If you see this comment now what I would like you to also do is make a sound post card by laminating a printed picture 1 or 2 times and cutting it at 45 RPM

[@mosesbrowning8055]

Have you tried cutting on an x-ray film? I know the russians did a long time ago to smuggle in rock music

[@databits]

This idea is still a good one! I'm yet to run across an X-Ray film. Looking!

[@Quietruck]

The CED disk is made of a PVC type composite. So it's not a true vinyl material.

[@simtitan1]

Thats interesting, didn't think that would work. Shame you can't have the same kind of fun with digital media.

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

simtitan1 So true. Listening to an old 8-Track or cassette just has a different "feeling" then clicking the file on your computer.

[@wii1245]

Classic80sStuff it's the mechanical sounds of the gears engaging that are nostalgic to some ppl.

[@perrylusk7428]

Absolutely Faboo!!

[@databits]

Perry Lusk Thankoo!!

[@matthewpalmer9820]

Disc-ception

[@smly1685]

can you make a homemade record cutter

[@wdharvey1]

How would that sound if played on a regular player as for as the resolution, etc?

[@wdharvey1]

duh...I see that question has been asked many times!! LOL!

[@siouxmoux3]

What would happen now if You play this back CED player?

[@danek_hren]

Nothing

[@briantech4037]

What is the original name of your record cutter I actually quite hard to find such a record cutter with the speed 33 45 78

[@databits]

+techno 39 - this is a Montgomery Ward record cutter

[@briantech4037]

Thank you I find your videos great

[@andrewdupuis1151]

I don't get it why you tube delete copyright video's on some people others gets away with it they should make fair for everyone. They even did one my videos about my reel to reel tape player it had about 30 sec music in it . I thought it was ok do like 30 seconds or less.

[@databits]

Yeah, apparently it is 6 seconds or less that keeps you out of trouble.

[@jerryspann8713]

Andrew Dupuis What about those people that upload complete albums, with ads at the beginning of video.

[@wii1245]

Jerry Spann i think they inserted tags or some kind of code on it to "fool" KZbin. Great idea, though.

[@loquendolauta4934]

Hey man, Nice video!. Can you record sound into a DVD?. (Sorry for my english, im argentinian)

[@databits]

+Loquendo Lauta - Greetings from America! And yes I can!

[@PlaidDin]

I kinda wonder what will happen when you put an RCA Recording on a normal phonograph.

[@databits]

***** It just makes quiet squeaky noises.

[@Robowil]

What CED Disc did you use, and what happens if you put it into the CED player?

[@wii1245]

Will M dragon's Lair.

[@danek_hren]

The CED disc in the player rotates at 450 RPM (NTSC) instead if 33. There will be just squeaky sounds.

[@stevenhobbs3032]

cool have you done that with a cd?

[@wii1245]

You could . You could burn the CD on one side, flip it over and cut a record, and you have a "DualDisc"

[@wii1245]

dp vn03 oh yeah, my bad. Just a thought though.

[@starsiderelics9521]

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

Do you own any 8-Track recorders? Thanks

[@databits]

Classic80sStuff I don't. The only one(s) I had I sold.

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

databits How come you sold them? Just not that interested in recording 8-tracks?

[@databits]

Yeah but I've renewed that interest with the discovery of my dbx encoder

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

databits If you ever decide you'd like to pick one up again I have one that I probably won't ever really use. I've only really used it a couple of times. I used it once to record the Blues Brothers soundtrack onto 8-track lol

[@databits]

What's the brand/model on it?

[@arifbabazade7279]

The video does not sound
