Thats just what i was wanting to know. Did a google search on XCD and guess what came up!

The XCD is a CD container format standard for multimedia content (much like VCD or SVCD). In contrast to S/VCD though, it allows arbitrary multimedia content TYPES (VCD/SVCD supports only MPEG1/MPEG2 system streams respectively and images). XCD can support, for instance, OGG, MPEG4, VP3, DIVX, XVID, JPG, etc.. ANY media type or container. It uses reduced Error Correction facilities, such that more space of the CD can be used for actual media (like S/VCD, compared with current computer CDs). Due to the reduced error correction, it's aimed at stream/media types that can handle errors to some extent at least. Yet, it allows keeping arbitrary 'special' sections of the stream/media 'protected' (i.e. special headers/indexes etc). It may contain recommendations for the player as for the order of the streams to play (in the form of optional playlists) and may offer interactive navigation through a menu system.

These are currently in planning stages only, so id like to know how this person got one!?!?

Sounds interesting none the least.
