Later Laserdiscs (and VHSs) had digital audio embedded in the analog audio stream the same way the GameCube and the Wii (and some N64 games) did it with Dolby Pro-Logic. But the video was always analog. IIRC the first widely available digital video format was Video-CD but that never took off in the west.
