I have several questions regarding VideoCD and CD-I.  

1.  Can anyone tell me where I might find some VideoCD type discs?  
    All I have been able to find are CD-I discs that implement the 
    Full Motion Extension.  

2.  What are the differences between these formats?
    I have been told that Video CD is the same as White Book and that this
    format differs from the CD-I format in that it uses an ISO 9660 file
    system instead of a CD-I file system.  Is this the only difference?

3.  Does the White Book format still require a CD-I application or is this
    optional for backwards compatibility with CD-I?


I would appreciate any help regarding these topics.

Thanks,
