I just got into CD-i and I noticed that in the US movie seems to have been sold all sold as CD-i Movies. Though there are two different standards, there are discs which are according to the Green Book standard (Digital Video on CD-i) and those on the White Book which are Video CD and compatible with dvd-players or 3DO/CD32/Saturn with MPEG-module or a PlayStation 1 SCPH-5903.
 
Can we consider alle Video CD's as part of Cdi or should just be the discs according to the Green Book be in database.

My personal opinion on this would be that if this was opened to having these available for the CD-i only with the Green Book movies, that would be all I would like to allow since Green Book specifies CD-i only. Otherwise, we will quickly open the huge can of worms that would allow all CDs, VCDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, and LaserDiscs in the DB as well just because they are capable of being played on a console. I'll happily defer to some of the DB guys for input also, but at a certain point, this could start to change the DB from a video game only one to a general purpose media one.

I would tend to agree with this. I know there are a handful of UMD video discs in the database and realistically, unless they include game play, they probably shouldn't be listed.

I get why they are though. They cannot be played by anything but the PSP. Same kind of thing as the GBA video to a certain extent.
