The CDI and VideoCD stuff for all practical purposes behaves a lot like CD DA . Is just that the CDROM format for CDI is a Philips thingy and in the case of VideoCD the files are a Phlips thingy. The information is proprieratory and we can get into trouble if we release source code. In my case, I crack the CDI stuff and was fortunate enough that Brian's company had a license so thru Omnimedia Brian was able to release his CDI + VideoCD player. So we can decode CDI or VideoCD via software and now days also play it back using just software. For instance, if mtv had a library api to interface to CDI or VideoCD the Pentium Pros 200Mhs shouldn't have too much of problem playing back the mpeg streams.
