Editing LaserDisc (section)

=== MCA ===
During the early years, MCA also manufactured discs for other companies including [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]], [[Disney]] and [[Warner Bros.]] Some of them added their own names to the disc jacket to signify that the movie was not owned by MCA. After DiscoVision Associates shut down in early 1982, Universal Studio's videodisc software label (called ''MCA Videodisc'' until 1984), began reissuing many DiscoVision titles. Unfortunately, quite a few, such as ''[[Saga of a Star World|Battlestar Galactica]]'' and ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'', were time-compressed versions of their CAV or CLV DiscoVision originals. The time-compressed CLV re-issue of ''Jaws'' no longer had the original soundtrack, having had incidental background music replaced for the videodisc version due to high licensing costs (the original music would not be available until the [[THX]] LaserDisc box set was released in 1995). One Universal/Columbia co-production issued by MCA Disco Vision in both CAV and CLV versions, ''[[The Electric Horseman]]'', is still not available in any other home video format with its original score intact; even the most recent DVD release has had substantial music replacement of both instrumental score and Willie Nelson's songs. An MCA release of Universal's ''[[Howard the Duck (film)|Howard the Duck]]'' shows only the start credits shown in widescreen before changing to 4:3 for the rest of the film. For many years, this was the only disc-based release of the film, until widescreen DVD formats were released with extras. Also, the 1989 and 1996 LaserDisc releases of ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial]]'' are the only formats to include the cut scene of [[Harrison Ford]], in the role of the school principal, telling off Elliott for letting the frogs free in the biology class.
