Marc > "CD Video" not "Video CD". It could be original Laser Disc format. Most people have the 12 inch (30cm) Laser Disk movies but you could also get short videos on CD sized disks with a mix of Laser Disc Video and Music tracks. My friend has one of these by a UK band called "The Mission" It is a CD sized disk, 3 music tracks and a Laser Disc Video CD track. Laser Discs store uncompressed video. MPEG was not even invented whem Laser Discs went into production. So, the only way to get the video is a Laser Disc player. I do not know of any way to use a CD ROM drive to play Laser Discs. So, me and my friend have never seen the video on his Mission CD. Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
