This sounds very interesting.   I was wondering
if a current  high end cd player  with digital outputs
could be used to "read" the data on one of these new  video cd disks.

Or will I have to go out and puchase another player to be  able
to use these new disks?    


What format is the data encoded on thes 
e video disks?
