UMD.
As far as I'm aware, it was essentially hi-MD, but with video support as well as audio. MiniDisc was an awesome format, sadly usurped before it could really take hold, partly by the rise of MP3, but also by the fact that anyone wanting to produce a player had to licence it. So very few companies bothered because CD was already good enough for most people.
