CEDs were heavily commercialized in the early '80s, but their poor playback quality in comparison to Laserdisc quickly doomed the format.
The process of recording video on a disc long predates both: the first effective system was the Telefunken TED in 1970.

Don't forget about DVHS. Yes, the Digital VHS!   HD 60fps Video straight from the nineties, I think 1994 it was.

Consider the names RCA-Victor and the Japan Victor Company (JVC). These video disc systems were not unrelated, although I don't think they were identical. There were earlier tighter collaborations between them, like the CD4 quadraphonic system, which they jointly developed and marketed the system.
