Well I had a fun day today!

These are unaltered direct photos (other than mirroring) of a CED and a Laserdisc where using diffraction grating I was able to VISIBLY SEE video physically encoded on the disc!

I will be editing a video about this process but also did a quick write up about it on my wiki here with the direct sample images:

@TechTangents This is so cool! :D It makes _sense_ that it's possible when I think about how it all works, but it still seems like magic that you can just look at the raw video data like that!
