Reason for this is that the data track is not in the TOC but the audio tracks are, so almost all CD/DVD-ROM drives consider the CD-i to contain audio only (so in fact an audio CD). If there are audio tracks on the CD-i it will get extremely difficult to find a drive which is able to read the CD-i correctly. If the CD-i disc does only contain data tracks you have the best chance of being able to mount the media and browse the content. Therefore it's often a good idea to try and read the CD-i disc in more than one system. IsoBuster however tries to compensate for that but if the drive (because the TOC is not right) refuses to do anything or read right or whatever still recognizing problems can occur. Consequence is that not many CD/DVD-ROM drives see a track on the CD-i disc and if they do they often get the start address and length wrong.
The TOC on a CD-i disc does not contain an entry for the data track(s). The new standard was called ' Green book'. CD-i discs were made for the CD-i consoles and are according to the 'Green book' standard.īecause CD-i discs were designed to play only on CD-i players, deviations from normal CD standards were allowed.
