*[[Wikipedia:Video_CD|VCD ]] playback supported by most of the media player software if you're 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 if you're VCD disc is [[Wikipedia:White_Book_(CD_standard)|White Book standard]]. Another option is directly launching .DAT file with media player software. Lastly if you have a White Book standard VCD packaged inside a CD-image, in some cases 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>. Also due to lack of support for playback control (PBC) with VCD2.0 or onwards<ref>[https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/283219-VCD-problems-%28playing-using-VLC-no-menus-in-Media-Player%29 VideoHelp Forum: VCD problems - playing using VLC; no menus]</ref>; most of the media player software do not support VCD menus.

:*[[Wikipedia:Super_Video_CD|SVCD]] and [[Wikipedia:Super_Video_CD#CVD|CVD]] playback using .mpg or .bin files is supported with VLC and most of the other media player software or if you have a SVCD packaged inside a CD-image, in some cases 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></ref>, though as cited above; handling still frames (often used in menus) and switching between different video formats is often problematic or not supported.

Only about 20 movies were released and it was stopped in 1994 in favor of VCD anyway.<ref>[https://obsoletemedia.org/cd-i-digital-video/ ObsoleteMedia: CD-i Digital Video (1993 – 1994)]</ref>
:*[[Wikipedia:Compact_Disc_Digital_Audio|Audio CD]] playback is possible; if you have a CD-DA/Audio CD packaged inside a CD-image, in some cases 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></ref> otherwise you need to insert the physical disc to play it<ref>[https://wiki.videolan.org/CD/#Audio_CDs VLC wiki: Audio CDs]</ref>. Another option for this 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:DVD |DVD]] 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.

If you're disc has encrypted with [[Wikipedia:Advanced_Access_Content_System|AACS]]; either you'll need a drive that is capable of reading the discs and ancient version PowerDVD ($) (e.g.. 7 Ultra) media player software<ref>[https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/343705-VLC-Blu-ray-plugin-Watch-encrypted-Blu-rays-directly-in-VLC-2-0/page2#post2194488 VideoHelp forum: encrypted HD-DVD playback]</ref> OR just like cited below for Blu-ray; using [https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176924 this guide for VLC] (or [https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/issues/944 this steps for MPC-HC]) may help,<ref>[https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=175620 Doom9 forum: HD-DVD protection and libaacs with keydb.cfg]</ref>but either way do not expect HD-DVD menu support at all<ref>[https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/691.page#post_box_2858 Cyberlink forum: PowerDVD ultra doesnt compatible with HD-DVD menus]</ref> unless there is a [[#Emulators|Xbox 360 emulator that fully implements "HD DVD Player"]] or using [https://youtu.be/myKtgAEuSCQ?t=661 compatible hardware].

*Playing [[Wikipedia:Blu-ray|Blu-ray menus is possible on ]] playback support isn't popular among the other hand. But so few [[Wikipedia:Comparison_of_video_player_software#Optical_media_ability|media player software supports Blu-ray]] and on top of that ; not all of them it supports Blu-ray menu (e.g. MPC-HC<ref>[https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/issues/944 MPC-HC: Blu-ray menu support]</ref>), your only choice for menu support are either using VLC<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSLcJNVuf0g VLC 3.0.18: Blu-ray Menus finally working]</ref> or PowerDVD ($). <abbr title="You'll see something like this prompt 'This Blu-ray disc needs a library for AACS decoding, and your system does not have it.'">If you're disc has encrypted with [[Wikipedia:BD%2B|BD+]] or [[Wikipedia:Advanced_Access_Content_System|AACS/AACS2]] DRM protection</abbr> and/or requires for [[Wikipedia:BD-J|BD-J or BD Live]]; use [https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176924 this guide for VLC] (or [https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/issues/944 this steps for MPC-HC]), or simply [https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123282 decrypt your Blu-ray dumps].
