~~===CD-i Player===~~

Using CD-i player, you are able to watch movies, concerts and music videos from a Video-CD using the [[#Digital Video Cartridge]] extension (DVC), watch your favourite photos on a Photo-CD, listen your best album from an Audio-CD, play and learn using a large list of CD-i titles including games, educational software and multimedia titles. You are also able to sing karaoke songs mostly through CD+Graphics. CD-BGM, CD-i Ready, CD-Text, CD-Midi and CD-i Bridge are some of the other formats supported by the system.[https://www.theworldofcdi.com/what-is-the-cd-i/]

===Digital Video Cartridge===

The one and only expansion card officially sold for the CD-i was the '''MPEG Digital Video Cartridge''' (DVC), a hardware MPEG-1 video decoder which enabled CD-i Digital Video and [[wikipedia:Video CD|Video CD]] playback as well as enhanced FMV capabilities for games that support it (similarly to the [[Sega_Saturn_emulators#Hardware_features_and_accessories|Sega Saturn's Video CD Card]]). As of 2025, there is no emulator that fully supports the DVC, and several games that require MPEG-1 video decoding will be pretty much unplayable without that support. To know whether your chosen games require the DVC, either check the "DVC status" column of [[wikipedia:List of CD-i games#Games|Wikipedia's CD-i game list]], or check [https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/cdi.xml MAME's CD-i hash list] for games where the list includes <code><sharedfeat name="compatibility" value="DVC" /></code>. [https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/CDi_MiSTer CDi_MiSTer] FPGA core partially supports DVC emulation.
