CED Digest Vol. 4 No. 24  •  6/19/1999

Subject: Bye Bye Divx
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 00:17:16 -0400

If you have not heard yet the Divx DVD format has gone bankrupt. The company
has issued a statement saying they will offer a $100 dollar rebate on the
Divx player to make up on the diffrence in price from a regular DVD player.
They have also given a 2 year time limit on access on the Divx disposible
disc.

I'm sad and happy that this happened to Divx. Now that Divx has died it has
gives DVD owner hope that there format is going to be the new "King Of The
Hill." I think I feel the sadiest about the users who wasted money on the
Divx Disc.OUCH!! All those disc and nothing will read them. I knew that this
day would come, just not so soon.

CED might skip or have distortion, but It still reads the discs years after
RCA stop caring about the CED users.

Subject: CED's for sale...  RARE?
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 10:07:26 -0500

I am about to place the following items on EBAY for sale
and I was curious what everyone thought as to the value
or rarity?    Or, anyone want to head me off before
I place them on EBAY....I will probably post to EBAY
tonight 6/17/99.

First,  I have an excellent condition CED of the $19.98 CED 
PREVIEW DISK.   Apparently this was not an item for sale,
but I am not exactly sure what the original would be or
exact value. I played this last night,  very intersting in the 
variations of movies covered.   This is listed as VERY RARE
on the CED MAGIC site.       

Also,  from the CED MAGIC site,   some of the CED's
listed as VERY RARE which I am going to sell include:
    UTILITIES
    THE FALCON AND THE SNOWMAN (2 ced's)
    SWEAT DREAMS

Lastly, I have a good selection of DISNEY CED's I am
going to sell, do you think it would be good to sell as a 
"DISNEY" SET or to simply list individual?
    Disney Christmas Gift, A {76476007546} R
    Disney: Pop & Rock* {76476107574} R
    Disney: Rock, Rhythm & Blues* {76476107567} R
    Walt Disney Christmas, A {76476007584} R
    Mickey's Christmas Carol* {76476107536} U
    Dumbo {76476007232} C
    Alice in Wonderland {76476007331} U
    Winnie the Pooh and Friends {76476007591} R
    Disney Cartoon Classics: Daisy {76476007478} R
    Disney Cartoon Classics: Donald {76476007461} R
    Disney Cartoon Classics: Minnie {76476007454} R
    Disney Cartoon Classics: Pluto {76476007485} R
    Disney Cartoon Classics: Silly Symphonies {76476007508} R
    Disney Cartoon Classics: The Fabulous '50s {76476007492} R

I also have this item with original BOX and INSTRUCTIONS:
(this is an interactive game/movie)
    DisneyDisc of Mystery and Magic, The {76476250072} R

I should be able to get all of those items on EBAY tonight.
Any thoughts on best groupings or value combinations?
Are many of those "rarer"?
