Recording on disc as opposed to phonograph cylinder had been contemplated and experimented with by such inventors as Charles Cros, Thomas Edison, Chichester Bell, but the first to actually develop usable disc record technology was Emil Berliner, a German working in Washington, D.C, in 1884.
The first disc recordings for phonographs or gramophones were commercially marketed in 1895, and they gradually overtook the earlier phonograph cylinder as the dominant medium of recorded sound by the 1910s.
All speeds of records were made in various sizes, mainly 7, 10 and 12 inches diameter; the 7-inch being most common for the 45rpm, the 10-inch for the 78 (and the first few years of 33&1/3 production), and the 12-inch for the 33 from the mid 1950s on.

 Analogue disc record
An analogue disc record is a flat disc with inscribed spiral grooves, in which the playback process begins with the direct mechanical motion of a stylus riding within the groove as the disc rotates.
All speeds of records were made in various sizes, mainly 7, 10 and 12 inches (18,20.5 and 30.5 cm aprox.) diameter; the 7-inch being most common for the 45rpm, the 10-inch for the 78 (and the first few years of 33⅓ production), and the 12-inch for the 33 from the mid 1950s on.
Recordings of popular music, however, were limited to a maximum of about 23 minutes per side (hence the popularity of the C90 compact audio cassette which runs for 45 continuous minutes per side).

 Gramophone record - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Analogue audio recording onto a disc was the main technology used for the storing of recorded sound for most of the 20th century.
Disc records were invented by Emile Berliner in 1888, and were used exclusively in toys until 1894, when Berliner began marketing disk records under the Berliner Gramophone label.
Such records were usually sold separately, in plain cardboard sleeves that may have been printed to show producer of the retailer's name and sometimes in collections held in paper sleeves in a cardboard or leather book, similar to a photograph album, and called record albums.

 Definition of Gramophone record
A gramophone record or phonograph record (often simply record) is an analogue sound recording medium: a flat disc rotating at a constant angular velocity, with inscribed spiral grooves in which a stylus or needle rides.
Recording on disc as opposed to phonograph cylinder had been experimented with by such inventors as Charles Cros, Thomas Edison and Chichester Bell, but the first to actually develop usable disc record technology was Emil Berliner, a German working in Washington, DC, in 1884.
CD recording is limited to a little more than the frequency range of human-audible sounds, with a sharp cutoff before the Nyquist frequency of 22.05 kHz, and many feel that this makes CD-recorded sound "cold": the theory behind this being that non-audible sounds add to analogue recording a "warmth" lacking in CDs.

 V-Disc Records: 1943-1949   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Such recording sessions are the hallmark of V-Disc Records, a label whose seven-year existence in the 1940's produced a treasure trove of rare jazz and big band tunes, patriotic marching music and world-class classical orchestral performances.
The record companies quickly ran out of pre-strike unreleased material, and the demand for new songs was increasing dramatically (Decca, for example, had the rights to release the soundtrack to the popular show "Oklahoma!" - but no musicians would cross the picket line to record the album).
Because of the AFM strike, Petrillo asked that the recordings not be used for any commercial purposes; that the records not be sold; and that all V-Discs were to be destroyed after the war.

 IMPACT Press: Music Reviews: August-September '03
Most of this disc was written by the artist and sung partly in Spanish and French; she even includes a decent version of "All I Gotta Do" written by Lennon and McCartney.
It's not the most monumental record your ever going to hear, but its an accomplished one, one that will be a progressive step toward something hopefully great, this one doesn't have that special something that sets it apart and makes it a classic.
Diversity is king on this jangly disc where the rock approach shares center stage with touches of disco, new wave electronics, pop punk and mesmerizing songs; the music is mostly American and the lyrics are mostly Japanese on this release.

 LinuxElectrons™ - TDK Announces 100GB Blue Laser Disc Technology
Although there’s been considerable speculation regarding next-generation Blu-ray Disc capacities, TDK is the first to successfully achieve 100GB in a working, prototype disc.
TDK Technologies Make Bare Blu-ray Disc a Reality Because Blu-ray Disc media’s data tracks are quite narrow even in comparison with DVD media, precise, stable interaction between the laser and the recording material is especially critical to ensuring error-free recording and playback.
As a member of the Blu-ray Disc Association Board of Directors, TDK has played a key role in the development of Blu-ray, the next generation optical media format that will not only change the way we experience home entertainment and computing, but will also create unprecedented business efficiencies.

 Movies [encyclopedia]
The presentation of moving pictures as a series of photographic images recorded and reproduced in rapid succession, the eye's persistence of vision giving the impression of continuous movement.
In the late 1920s synchronized sound was added to the picture presentation, at first from separate disc records but after 1927 from a sound track on the film itself, the frame rate being increased to 24 pictures per second.
Improvements since the late 1800s include the mechanization of cameras, allowing them to record at a consistent speed, the invention of more sophisticated filmstocks and lenses, allowing directors to film in increasingly dim conditions, and the development of synch_sound, allowing sound to be recorded at exactly the same speed as its corresponding video.
