What are ancient 10 GB video discs?
I was reading an old book on programming and I came across it mentioning some video disks that can store more than 10 GB of data. And this despite the fact that at the time of writing the book, computers were still working on punched cards. Question: what were these disks and where did they go?

Video disc is a general definition of media in the form of a disc that is used to store video and sound for later playback of recorded material.
What kind of book is it, what year was it published?
