Interesting.

I wonder how many standards will be addopted and which ones will fail.

I remember thinking some time ago when CD singles started to appear that
the
marketing people were missing a golden opportunity. 3 audio track barely
"scratched" the surface of the audio CD <Pun intended>

The opportunity they missed IMHO was that of putting the Pop Video on the
same disc in CD-Video format. That would have given a much needed kick
start
to VideoCD and also publicised Laserdisc more as a movie format. Admittedly
I had a vested interest in including a video, as a DJ I wanted to be able
to
show the video at the same time :-)

Sadly although many CD singles now "include" a video is will only
play on a
PC as a lousy Quicktime clip occupying a tiny area of the screen. It also
needs a fairly meaty PC to play it especially full screen by which time it
is so pixellated as to be unwatchable.
