To solve all problems: buy a CD-i player instead! :-)

Or a HiSoft SMD-100 (stand-alone box with SCSI in (for CD-ROM drive) and SCART out, was supposed to link to the Amiga but the software never happened)

DVD players generally don't play CD-i CDs. Note that some CDs marked as "CD-i" on the packaging are in fact standard VCDs and are playable on anything.

The key seems to be with the catalogue number - those marked with xxx 1xxx are typically CD-i discs, whereas those with xxx 2xxx are generally VCDs.

Examples:
811 1001 - Top Gun - CD-i packaging and a real CD-i title
811 2041 - Crocodile Dundee II - CD-i packaging but a VCD
811 2036 - A View To A Kill - VCD packaging and it is a VCD
