CDTV is based on the Amiga.. CD-I is not.  Need I say any more?
No, seriously, CD-I from what I have been hearing is going to be
more or less an interactive *player* of graphics.  I don't know
or think that such player would be as sophisticated or should I
say versatile as a full fledged computer with a developed operating
system and peripherals, software, etc.  There are so many more
possibilities.
Commodore chose the ISO-9660 file system so as to be file compatable
with most CD-ROMs; it is also better suited for a non-writable medium.

NOTE- All I have said about CD-I is pure speculation! I've never seen
a CD-I player... But I've seen alot of CDTV's!!! B-)

Adios!
