Is CD-i compatible with DVD?
In general, no. Current DVD players do not play CD-i (Green Book) discs. Philips once announced that it would make a DVD player that supported CD-i, but it has yet to appear. Some people expect Philips to create a “DVD-i” format in attempt to breathe a little more life into CD-i (and recover a bit more of the billion or so dollars they invested in it). A DVD-ROM PC with a CD-i card should be able to play CD-i discs.

A DVD-ROM PC with a CD-i card should be able to play CD-i discs. There are also “CD-i movies” that use the CD-i Digital Video format that was the precursor to Video CD. Early CD-i DV discs won’t play on DVD players or VCD players, but newer CD-i movies, which use standard VCD format, will play on any player that can play VCDs (see 2.4.5).
