I do know in my experience that at least one particular CDI movie (Live and Let Die) contained one big file that was an MPEG system-layer stream, which I was able to process using the usual mpeg tools under unix. It made for a good test file for playing with MPEG. What I did was mount the CD under W95 and copy the file over to a unix disk (that happened to be the most convenient setup for me), so the CD fs might not have been straight iso9660, but the data file was definitely straight MPEG system-layer. It also played very well using ATI's full screen software MPEG player for W95 - a bit jerky on a P120, but the sound was great, and the effect on a 20' monitor was good as long as you didn't sit too close. Popcorn anyone?
