:*[[Wikipedia:LaserDisc#LD-G|LD-G]] as the storage medium for karaoke (music and additional content such as graphics), almost all manufacturers have transitioned to CD+G discs later.
*[[Wikipedia:Video_CD|VCD]]/[[Wikipedia:Rainbow_Books|White book standard disc]] playback supported by some of the media player software when you are using the physical disc. Also you can use compatible [[Wikipedia:Comparison_of_disc_image_software|virtual disc image mount software]] with media player software->open disc option. Another option is directly launching .DAT file with media player software. Lastly if you have a VCD packaged inside a CD-image, VLC media player can play this directly without you having to mount it or extract it such as; CDRWIN's BIN/CUE format, cdrdao's TOC format, and a limited set of Nero (NRG) formats.<ref name=VLCCDImages>[https://wiki.videolan.org/What_can_VLC_do%3F/#Compact_Disc_.28CD.29_Images VLC Wiki: Compact Disc (CD) Images]</ref>.

:*[https://www.theworldofcdi.com/encyclopedia/category/dv-on-cd-i-movies/ CD-i Digital Video] playback is not possible; you cannot rip your disc or use .DAT files (or launch CD-image directly) due to [[Wikipedia:Rainbow_Books|Green Book standard]] for CD-i discs; making it incompatible with the Video CD format and [https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=59084.msg658853#msg658853 ISO-9660 file system] which causing unreadable discs or incompatibility with media player software, though [[Wikipedia:Rainbow_Books|White Book standard]] [https://letterboxd.com/cashappme20/list/philips-cdi-movies/ CD-i movie discs] released later, which shouldn't be confused with CD-i Digital Video discs<ref>[https://obsoletemedia.org/cd-i-digital-video/ ObsoleteMedia: CD-i Digital Video (1993 – 1994)]</ref>. Either way, [https://youtu.be/QJ01L8ZyVw0?t=1136 do not expect menu support]; which is possible with Video-CD 1.1 format exclusive to CD-i players (VCDs with only version 2.0 or onwards supports this as cited above, e.g [[Wikipedia:File:Return_button_on_vcd_player.JPG|VCD players with Return button]])<ref name=VCDandCDiversions></ref>, you have to wait for an [[#Emulators|CD-i emulator that fully implements "DVC"]] or use compatible hardware for playing [[Wikipedia:Rainbow_Books|Green Book standard]] [https://www.theworldofcdi.com/encyclopedia/category/dv-on-cd-i-movies/ CD-i Digital Videos] and menus.
:*[[Wikipedia:Photo_CD|Photo CD]]/[[Wikipedia:Rainbow_Books|Beige Book standard disc]] playback is possible with VLC or MPC-HC if you are using physical disc or compatible [[Wikipedia:Comparison_of_disc_image_software|virtual disc image mount software]] with media player software->open disc option, or you can use compatible [[#Emulators|emulator ]] software such as mednafen/beetle PCFX for Photo CDs.

You can use [[PlayStation_emulators#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|DuckStation]], mednafen/beetle PCFX or [[#Emulators|Amiga CD32emulator]] emulator that supports FMV module for Audio CD playback, another option for Audio CD's using something like "Audacity" software to import the .BIN files (File - Import - Raw Data... - Signed 16-bits PCM, 2 channel stereo, 44100 Hz) and, then, export as .WAV.<ref>[https://superuser.com/questions/258679/how-do-i-play-bin-and-cue-files-in-vlc-media-player superuser: How do I play .bin and .cue files in VLC media player software?]</ref>

:*[[Wikipedia:CD%2BG|CD+G]]/[[Wikipedia:Rainbow_Books|Red book standard disc]] discs are often used for karaoke machines similar to LD-G, which use this functionality to present on-screen lyrics for the song contained on the disc.

*[[Wikipedia:DVD|DVD-Video]] playback and menus supported by various media player software like [https://nightlies.videolan.org/ VLC] and [https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/tags MPC-HC], however other ones like [https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv mpv] and [https://github.com/libretro/libretro-mpv libretro-mpv] do not support DVD menus<ref>[https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/4577 mpv player: DVD menu support issue page]</ref>, so there is no support for [[Virtual_reality#VR_game_room_simulations|EmuVR]] either. A large number of commercial DVDs are encrypted which uses a range of encryption and copy protection techniques like [[Wikipedia:DVD_region_code|RC]], [[Wikipedia:DVD_region_code#Region-code_enhanced|RCE]], [[Wikipedia:Analog_Protection_System|APS]], [[Wikipedia:Content_Scramble_System|CSS]], [[Wikipedia:User_operation_prohibition|UOPs]] and [[Wikipedia:ARccOS_protection|ARccOS]]; using plugins like [https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html libdvdcss]<ref>Get libdvdcss compiled library from [https://download.videolan.org here], then move the downloaded libdvdcss-2.dll file to VLC or any other media player software installation folder to work with libdvdcss.</ref>, <abbr title="These ones already comes with VLC media player software, you can see these in your 'VLC/plugins/access' directory.">libdvdread and libdvdnav</abbr> for VLC may help with playing these encrypted discs.

:*[[Wikipedia:DVD-Audio|DVD-Audio]] playback only possible using .AOB files with VLC and MPC-HC, also [https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_HowTo/Extract_audio/#Using_the_VLC_graphical_user_interface_.28GUI.29 you can rip DVD-Audio using VLC convert option]. There is no DVD-Audio menu support for MPC-HC or VLC.
*[https://www.psdevwiki.com/psp/Universal_Media_Disc UMD Video] playback and menu support is not possible with any of the media player software. But if you do [https://old.reddit.com/r/PSP/comments/n7t7co/my_quest_to_rip_a_psp_umd_movie/hii7ijg/ this ripping and transcoding processes] correctly you can play it on your media player software (without menu support of course). In the meantime your only choice for menu support either using [[#Emulators|JPCSP emulator]] that supports this or real hardware.
