| Ulrik, the problem is that the Apple-provided CDROM drivers in X don't (yet) support reading Whitebook (VCD) CD's. The layout of the MPEG stream is an odd hybrid of ISO9660 and Redbook (the directory layout is 9660, but the video streams' error correction and encoding is similar to an audio CD), and requires special handling by the drivers. The only thing that's stupid about it is that it's broken in the first place. The conspiracy nut in me want's to believe that there's some back-room pressure being put on Apple by the MPAA to prevent the use of an open format that would allow the trade of their precious IP. The reality is probably more like Apple didn't count it a high-priority item, and so didn't do it. Either way, it sucks, and I hope it gets fixed soon. |

| never used vcd's yet and it's unlikely i ever will, so i'm pretty neutral about this.
