-
- Two reasons. Most filesystem do not read Video-CDs correctly (they read with a 2048byte block
- size and cut the extra bytes from every CDXA sector). Video-CDs store MPEG system streams that
- multiplex video and audio information. Neither AmiPeg nor mp do support system streams, they
- just support the unmultiplexed video streams.

-
- CD-I and VideoCD use the same MPEG format. They do use different layouts of the stream on
- the disk (that is, the directory is different, the streams are about the same).
