DEF

Technique enabling data recorded with a constant linear density to be read, whereby the rotation speed of the disk varies in inverse ratio to the reading beam.

OBS

A CLV or extended-play disc maintains a consistent length for each frame, thus enabling longer playing time per side, but sacrificing individual frame addressability. Reference to locations on CLV discs is limited to time in minutes and seconds. CLV discs are basically useless for interactive videodisc applications.
