(Follow up to why corel discs dont work on a PCD player)

Hmmm doubt it.

The corel Photo CD's are not quite Photo CD - they are Pictures in a file 
format which is PCD (Photo CD) but the disc isnt a PCD.

True PCD dictates XA and a execute block on a certain sector.
I think Kodak will sue them sooner or later.

Solution - 

1) Dont but corel "photo CD's"
2) Buy ours instead - they work on a photo CD
3) Burn a Photo CD disc using the corel Images (easier said)
4) Buy a 24 bit mac and a TV Modulator - cost circa $5000
5) Produce 8 bit indexed colour images - Photoshop is good at this
6) Buy a slide projector - infinite resolution & color depth 
   - Toshiba have a nice portable version with a bulb & a magnifying glass

Have fun.
