Laserdiscs were analog.

You do realize that's how dvds work pretty much right?

Except instead of a needle they use a laser

do the math, what is the typical ratio of space taken up by 3 min video : 3 min audio?

Laserdiscs were analog but their is another format even closer to vinyl that was used to hold video.

regular vinyl can't, not enough dimensions to encode the analog signal

I was just about to ask "why hasn't anyone tried to make a digital vinyl disc?" then I realized that any digital data would be unreadable because the medium is inaccurate as fuck

Aside from novelty, why would you want to? The quality is vastly inferior to CDs, which are dirt cheap by now.

can't really do video
the amount of data required would exceed the "bandwidth" of the needle
you could do something like a very slow loading .gif

part of the issue is if you speed up the record the needle looses fidelity, unless you also increase the needle tension
but then you destroy the record and can get really bad data

It's something a lot of inventors and engineering companies worked on in the decades where most people owned TVs and record players, but VCR/BetaMax didn't exist yet. It was a holy grail that nobody could get to work.

For a related piece of technology check out the PXL-2000. This was a camcorder that used regular audio casettes. It had to run the tapes ten times faster than normal just to produce a horrible looking black and white video. You can't overclock a vinyl record like that.

Digital vinyl would remove any audio benefit to vinyl anyway.
Vinyls are good for audio because the bass/mid/treble settings are not hard set, so they are never compressed and can change them to suit your preferences without lowering the quality.

The reason vinyl has "good quality audio" is because the sound wave is engraved verbatim onto the medium. You could arguably do that for analogue video, but you'd have to have ridiculously huge records and dangerously fast players.
