Pressing Notes

A test disc probably used to calibrate the VH-8000 Magnavision players. It contains audio & video test signals, video clips, music clips, still frames. The video clips are all from "The Other Side of the Mountain," but the audio is selections from "The Eiger Sanction" soundtrack. The soundtrack audio changes from mono to stereo and back again. Because of a mix of video material and film material, the frame rate varies from 24fps (for film) to 30fps (for video) accounting for the variation run time versus frames present. The last 2 film clips contain the actual film soundtrack.

This disc included the following notation on the label:
This videodisc is for use only by authorized Magnavox personnel for player testing and service. Not for public distribution, sale or use.
