They had a specific type of player and when you got through half the movie you had to flip the movie over to watch the rest of it. They were from the late 70's and early 80's. I was just wanting to know what they were called and where I might be able to find them.

...the format was called CED (Capacitance Electronic Disc), and the discs looked very much like laserdiscs, except that they were encased in a plastic cartridge, and the machine that played them (...exclusive to RCA), which retrieved the disc from the cartridge, when it was slid into and out of the machine, actually had a electronic stylus, not unlike a record player...
...this was the first type of movie player I ever owned, and I remember how so incredibly sensitive the stylus used for this format, was (...skipping was most frequent, when playing the discs in the machine); anyways, next stop...Beta (...and we all know what happend to that ill-fated format)

Don't hold me to it, but I think you might be thinking of the Capacitance Electronic Disc (dubbed videodisk) that came out in 1981, or the laserdisk, which came out about 1968ish.
