Video CD - Undumped Discs

From Redump Wiki

Revision as of 21:23, 24 June 2024

A list of undumped Video-CD (VCD) discs which are qualified for Redump.

Criteria for Redump inclusion:

• Disc includes game-related content: such as games (example: Super Game 300), video game trailers, etc.
• Disc includes CD-i console-specific content: such as "Music Video Sampler" VCD (which includes videos for Philips CD-i-branded-exclusive music titles).
• Official video game console branding or content. However the usage of an official "Compact Disc Interactive" logo and unofficial CD-i logos or mentions ("compatible with CD-i") will not be enough on it's own to qualify for Redump acceptance.
• Philips branded VCDs (which commonly, but not always have serial numbers formatted as such: 8## ####, 310######-2). "CD-i" branding not required.
• Contains Philips CD-i format (root "CDI" folder) exclusive content beyond a basic menu: bonus features (examples [1], [2]). Note: All VCDs contain a "CDI" root folder with a basic menu as a required part of the VCD specification[3] - merely having a CDI format menu does not qualify a disc for Redump inclusion.
• VCD that is a hybrid format disc with another system automatically qualified for Redump: "The Cranberries: Doors and Windows"[4] is qualified because ALL Philips CD-i formatted discs are qualified for Redump entry (even non-game related multi-media).
• Bonus or bundled discs which are not game related, but another disc in the set is qualified for Redump entry.
• Karaoke Video CDs are not considered eligible unless they have an additional qualifying criteria. Tomy Kiss-Site VCD series has received a Mod consensus to be merged into the standard VCD dat (such karaoke discs contain video of video gameplay).

Philips Branded

Videos / Movies / Concerts were sometimes released in Philips CD-i branded packaging. Sometimes these were labeled "CD-i Digital Video" format only playable on a CD-i console, but often they were labeled "Video CD" making them a generic VCD format - with a caveat of sometimes including CD-i specific extras.
