Hi,
Were there any plans for a combined DVD player and CD-i unit? I seem to remember reading something about this about 10 years ago, but it may have just been rumours on the Internet...

I don't believe it was a DVD player in itself, but it did allow control over a professional DVD player. Check it out on the ICDIA at the bottom of the Philips professional and authoring CD-i players page.

Hi,
Apologies for posting in the wrong place, I meant to reply to an existing post with this, rather than to create a new topic... oops!
I had an early (either 1st gen or 2nd gen) Philips DVD player and its support for VCD was very basic to say the least. I missed the colourful CD-i menus of professionally produced VCDs, so ended up continuing to use the CD-i itself for most VCD stuff.
The DVD player wouldn't even play CD-R or CD-RW media, but I suspect that was due to it only having a single laser. The player itself started to die gradually a few months after its warranty period and eventually would hardly play any DVDs... I've been put off Philips products ever since!
Having said that, I still have a soft spot for the CD-i, of course!
