DVD interactive
Hi!
I just wondered what everyone's thoughts were on the ever increasing catalogue of DVD interactive (or DVD-i as I call it) games?
I have a small collection now, and although they'll never replace our cd-i, some of the games are good. My favourite is the Telly Addicts series. There's a Lara Croft game and Wallace & Gromit is fun.
I wonder if Philips have been tempted to create a dedicated DVD-i console and get back into the gaming circle?

Philips specced the sequel of CD-i if rumours have to be believed!
They promised consumers DVD would be compatible with CD-i as well.
Those minigames available on DVD are not of any value to me. Although i like the ALG games! I have Space Ace and Mad Dog Mccree on DVD, playable on every DVD player. But, the conversion is rough, and i think the CD-i versions are better!

Blu-ray uses the GEM protocol.cdoty wrote:HD DVD and Blu-ray offer a better interactive experience. Blu-ray uses Java.
GEM (Globally-Executed-MHP) is a derivation of MHP (and others), pan-european system of tv interactivity in work in some countries of Europe (for example, Spain).
MHP (Media Home Platform) is very similar to Mediahighway or OpenTV, are engines who works under html and java technologies.
PlayStation 3 at the moment NOT supports GEM.

It's not Related. The nuon technology is more extensive than dvd-i. Nuon requires a special chipset in the DVD Player.cdoty wrote:The Nuon was known as DVD-Interactive. I wonder if they're related?
I found this:

Thanks!cdoty wrote:Great Tandy VIS site. What's the difference between the MD 2500 and MD 5200? I have the Memorex MD 2500. It would be interesting to see if software could be developed for the system.
I have too a MD2500 but I mispelled it to MD5200. I will solve it this night or tomorrow.
