Like a VideoCD? (ducking)
Or a CD-V? I have one of those - it's 4 or-so CDDA audio tracks plus
one analog laserdisc-compatible video track. It plays in Pioneer
Laserdisc/audio CD combo players - none of my laserdisc players accept
CD-sized media, but I knew someone who had the right model of player, so
I was able to watch it once. The audio tracks are standard and do play
in pretty much anything (computer, dedicated audio player...) that handles
audio CDs.
It's a bizarre format - I don't think they pressed many discs like it.
