CD32 Mpeg card

[alexh]

The reason you get such a fluctuation in prices for this item is *it's crap*.

Almost nothing used it. All DVD players now play VCD discs. It really isnt an item that enhances the Amiga experience at all.

HOWEVER, CD32 owners have a longing need to put something in their empty slot :-)

Most cannot afford SX32/Pro etc. so an FMV card fills the gap.

A few years later when the income is flowing they get sold off as people by SX32/Pro or Promodules etc. and need their slot back.

This buy and sell fluctuations means that every now and again several hit the market at the same time and drive the prices down.

Ah, but DVD players (and PCs) will not play CDi disks

Yes they do. My TopGun plays ok, StarTrek etc. Perhaps not the ultra-cheap-o DVD players?

and most of the VCDs I bought for my CD32 were actually CDi format.

No such thing. Or at least "CDi format" is not the correct terminology for it.

I managed to find some software that allowed me to rip the video files off my (until then) unreadable CDi disks, rename them and then burn them to a single DVD+R which would play on my DVD player.
