Philips Media Bumpers

Are they stored somewhere...? They used to be somewhere on the old Le Monde site, but they're not anymore (?)

Perhaps Blurb can upload them somewhere?

They where on the so-called "FPD" discs that Philips supplied to CD-i developers. I assume you want the MPEGs, the base-case version was a run-length animation only playable on CD-i. Both included source code to play the bumpers.

I ought to have these disc somewhere...

I found one of these once and wondered what the hell it was, stuck it into my CD-i player and the Philips Bumper kept playing again and again and again and again and again and again... well you get the general idea

The discs include all sorts of goodies for Philips Media developers: delivery specifications, recommended "dirty disc" messages and "this is not an audio disc" warnings in many languages, the Philips Media bumper animations, etc etc.

You had to use a CD-i 605 to get at the files, though, which made them somewhat difficult to use at the time. Of course, using isobuster it is now a breeze!

Sounds like a must-have

I just found mine, it says:

Philips Interactive Media

CD-i Final Production Delivery Specification
Appendix I, N & M
Version 8.05

NOT FOR RESALE

So the disc was actually a digital appendix to a paper document that I probably no longer have...

I have extracted the bumper MPEG files; they are about 2.7 MB each.
Zipped the whole bunch (7 files) is about 10 MB. These are all the same animation, but for different frame rates and aspect rations.

From the readme file:

These are the cdi (green book) and vcd (white book) mpeg files
for pal, ntsc 24, ntsc 30 and compatible mode.
There is no compatible mode file for vcd

Just tell me where to upload them!
