I'm not exactly sure why, perhaps it's just a matter of dealing with the appropriate drive quirks. > You should contact the FreeBSD multimedia mailing list (or > Amancio Hasty, the FreeBSD multimedia guru) for driver information > (I believe Amancio even had CDI working last time I checked). Yes, but only on the Plexstor CDROM drives, which apparenly support the oddball record size of CDI. I've got about 15 CDI movies (and a CD-I, operating off 220V and emitting PAL video :-) which I'd love to see on my FreeBSD box someday, but I'm not holding my breath - according to Amancio, it's difficult. - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
