    Default Movies on CD-i?

    Hi folks, quick question, and apologies if this has been covered and I'm just failing at search. Can anyone point me to a list of theatrical movies that were released on CD-i during the CD-i's life span? I was in a Goodwill over the weekend that had about a dozen, most of the titles escape me now but I know one was Wayne's World. Also, are they worth anything to collectors? I didn't pick them up, money's a little tight right now, but I imagine they'll still be there if I go back.

    this helps:

    Wiki: Shortly before the advent of White Book VCD, Philips started releasing movies in the Green Book CD-i format. While these used a similar format (MPEG-1), due to minor differences between the standards these discs are not compatible with VCD players. Philips' CD-i players with the Full Motion Video MPEG-1 decoder cartridge would play both formats. Only a few CD-i DV titles were released before the company switched to proper VCD format for publishing movies.

    And they gotta say CDi on the jewel case:

    Well, format similarities/differences aside, I think these were specifically for CD-i players, since they had "Digital Video Cartridge Required" on the sleeves.

    Save your money, they aren't worth more than a buck or two if they are mint/complete.

    I agree - I have a number of these of the CD-i movie releases and they are all pretty common. Don't invest heavily at all.

    Yeah I've never seen these go for more than like a dollar or two.

    If The Dirty Dozen was on CD-i, I'd buy THAT for a dollar!

    Eer, wait, I don't like that whole girl killing scene thing. Bad Telly Savalas!

    The main reason I would be shy against buying movies on CD-i (unless they were awesome ones, I should have a look) is that they will be sub-LD and sub-DVD quality. Meh. Do any of them have DVD-like extras?
