History - 1920s?

The Washington Post says: "The birth date and birthplace of the VCR depend on how far back you want to look. Video recording technology itself dates to the early 1920s, but the company Ampex is credited with developing the first commercially viable videotape recorder in 1956. The machine was bulky, expensive and designed primarily for professional broadcasters." The article ought to have some reference to what video technology was possible in the 1920s. Presumably, since magnetic tape was not invented, it must have used a disk system? 2.31.164.0 (talk) 15:30, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Maybe you did not notice the link to History of television at the top of the History section here? ~Kvng (talk) 13:02, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Spherical Volumetric Video

This article mentions neither spherical nor volumetric. WHY?? oh, why?

I've added links to 360-degree video and Volumetric video to the See also section. ~Kvng (talk) 15:40, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

'One of the first tape recorder' under 'Analog video' should have an 's' appended to it. 2A02:C7F:9E3B:CD00:C135:2AF3:755F:A23D (talk) 07:56, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Digital video consumer and professional

About "It could not initially compete with analog video, due to early digital uncompressed video requiring impractically high bitrates.": I would start this sentence with "in the home, it could not...". Then I would add the explicit professional uncompressed digital VCRs. One is found on an already existing wiki page "D-2 (video)" and another wiki page is "D-1 (Sony)", also professional and uncompressed digital video. Ohgddfp (talk) 16:11, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

IIRC, these professional digital formats did not replace analog when they arrived. The machines and tape were expensive and the systems were temperamental. The could not compete statement was arguably also true for professional applications. Digital did not replace analog video in professional or consumer applications until data compression and more robust storage formats were available. ~Kvng (talk) 12:50, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

In the "History of Television", it is claimed that Sony had sold more than 1,500 D - 2 recorders. These professional machines are uncompressed digital video. Sony D1 professional VCRs were popular in high end post-production facilities. I personally demonstrated them. If the numbers of D2 units sold is too low, (and the volume of professional machines is always low anyway), then that distinction should be spelled out in the article.

Why there is no cd in optical storage section

There is no mention of cd in recording section. 171.61.50.214 (talk) 11:22, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

I have added a link to Video CD. ~Kvng (talk) 14:17, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
