Videodiscs provide quick, random access to a large number of short video clips and images, but the amount of material available can make it difficult to find the particular video clip or image that is needed. Computer control of the videodisc player can help by providing more convenient search capabilities and controlling video playback with the click of an on-screen button. Videodisc Browser 2.0 takes computerized videodisc control one step further by providing many descriptions and points of view of a videodisc, each designed for a different way you can use video. It can be used with any videodisc for which descriptive data are available and can be customized to meet individual needs. A Macintosh version has already been published by JCE: Software (1).
