I just picked up a large box of these with many great movie titles.I was thinking that they were laser disks.Can anyone tell me what kind of picture/audio quality I could expect from them if I purchased a player from ebay.I am not familiar with CED at all ,I guess when they came out in the early 1980's I was to busy fighting acne and bullies in junior high.I enjoy collecting odd audio/video and might consider more of these if they are not on par with 8-tracks.Are they digital and why weren't they more popular?How do I care for them? (and should I bother?)any info would be kind.thank you,

Thanks again ,I will list them on ebay and shamelessly ship them to the highest bidder.
Eight track tapes were probably a better audio format than was CED for video. The resolution is VHS quality at best, and VHS was certainly a far more durable and robust medium than was this ill-conceived format. CED is not digital and uses a stylus that wears the disc, and the system is prone to a whole host of problems. This is not a viable playback format other than for the titles that are unique to it; hence it is essentially a curiosity.
they skip, don't play, have snow, etc. Think the noiseiest, most warped record you've ever heard and you'll know why CED died a quick death.
