Will CD-i play HDCD, CD-Video, CD-MIDI or CD-Text?

The New International CD-i Association
HDCD (High Density Compatible Digital) is an extension to CD-Audio which raises the bit depth of the sampes from 16 to 20 bits, allowing for a higher sound quality on players with a HDCD decoder. Any HDCD-CD can be played on any CD-player, including CD-i players. To date, no CD-i player makes use of this extra HDCD-information.

Will CD-i play Super Video-CD?

The New International CD-i Association
Super Video-CD is an extension to the Video-CD specification, set up by the original Video-CD licensees (Philips, Sony, JVC and Matsushita) in 1999. Super Video-CD uses DVD-quality MPEG-2 video on a standard CD which runs at variable bit rates up to double speed (2.8 kbps). This allows for 35 to 70 minutes of high quality video on a regular CD. Super Video-CD is a cheap way of making discs that are playable on compatible DVD-Video players using a regular CD-Recorder.

I have a Video-CD. Why won't it play on my CD-i?

Video-CD on CD-i / The New International CD-i Association
It is known that several so-called Video-CDs exist that do not play on a CD-i player. This is mainly the case with certain titles from China and the Far East. Mostly, this is due to the absence of a CD-i application on the disc. As mentioned before, such a CD-i application is a mandatory requirement for a Video-CD, and a disc that does not include it violates the license terms (but this is often the case with illegal discs for which no license fees were payed in the first place!).

How do I make a VCD (Video CD) that will play in most DVD players?

Virtual Edit - Free DV Editor and Video Editing Solutions
A VCD is basically the for-runner to DVD but uses a standard CD. Fortunately most DVD players will support VCDs. There are two types of VCD, the original (which uses mpeg1 compression) and SVCD (which uses mpeg2 compression). However, VCDs are more widely supported. Virtual Edit cannot directly output mpeg1 data, however, you could render a high quality AVI and then use a VCD burning tool that supports AVI video data (for example Sonic - MyDVD) to burn the VCD data onto CD.

HymnSite.com FAQ
The simple answer is that .sht files aren't MIDI files. The .sht extension is short for .shtml, which is the normal extension for html files that contain server-side features. Many servers (like the one I use) are configured to work with truncated, three-character extensions to accomodate name length limitations for files prepared in DOS or Win3.x environments (like the one that HymnSite.com was originally prepared with!).

Why doesn't all midi-files play ?

Sokoban Frequently Asked Questions
Only one midi-file is playing. When next track is selected, nothing plays. This is caused by the fact that I am using relative paths to the MIDI-files. It seems that the MIDI-player sometimes "forgets" the current working path The simple solution is to always give the full path when starting to play a MIDI-file. This will be corrected in the next release. A workaround is to edit the Sokoban.ini file with an ordinary text-editor (notepad or wordpad).

Sometimes when I play a movie, the video is choppy or very pixelated. Why is that?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
Try downloading the movie to your computer and watching it locally. Sometimes choppiness occurs when we can't stream it to you quickly enough (because your connection is slow or our servers are overloaded). If you're watching an MPEG-4 that we derived from an original MPEG-2, we first reduce its size to 320 x 240 - a quarter of the resolution of NTSC video. We then translate it at 350 kbps, which is really borderline for that resolution.
