Interesting.  I first got "Star Trek IV, The undiscovered country" out
and saw that it was clearly labelled "CD-I" - not unsurprisingly, it
wouldn't mount as an ISO9660 volume (it'd still be nice to figure out
how to play it as it's my favorite disk, but hey - I know it was an
early rev of the spec :).  Then I got "Addam's Family Values" which
is simply labelled as "Video CD" and, sure enough:

root@time-> cd /cdrom
root@time-> ls
abstract.txt    cdi             mpegav
biblio.txt      copyrigh.txt    vcd
root@time-> ls -l mpegav/
total 381380

So..  I then tried the new xanim on this and was rewarded with
the following on my console:

cd0(ahc0:6:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:64,0 Illegal mode for this track
cd0(ahc0:6:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:64,0 Illegal mode for this track

(xanim, of course, promptly said "bleah!").

"Hmmmm!" says I.  I tried it then on the HP 4020i drive, using
the worm driver.  No doggie bisquit for me:

worm0(ahc0:2:0): MISCOMPARE info:d4d asc:a7,0 Vendor Specific ASC
worm0(ahc0:2:0): MISCOMPARE info:d4e asc:a7,0 Vendor Specific ASC
worm0(ahc0:2:0): MISCOMPARE info:d4d asc:a7,0 Vendor Specific ASC

Same basic problem.  Any other ideas? ;-)
