Do picture CD and VCD co-exist on the same CD ?

[SingSing]

In Nero, the user can add jpeg pictures into the folder name pictures.
When I put this Cd in the DVD player, it then become a slide show.
I read this is actually Kodak picture CD. The slide show application is
in the CDI directory.

But If I also add vcd mpeg1 files onto this CD and burn it, then
is this a picture Cd or VCD ?

Adding jpeg in nero SVCD does not work, is this my player,
other probelm ?

Are you asking can this be done, or you have did this and just want to know what to call it? Regardless if you have both a slideshow and movie on the same cd it would still be a vcd.

I did a VCD on Nero with only jpeg files in the picture folder.
This end up as a picture CD. The great things is I don't
even has to rescale/size the jpeg pcitures.

I did many VCD,and SVCD.

But I have not add video and picture on the same VCD yet.

It will still be a VCD (you are allowed to put additional files on a VCD filesystem).

It will depend on your player as to whether it will see it as a VCD or "PictureCD".

A PictureCD isn't really a PictureCD unless you put JPEG images onto the disc as a standard CD-ROM.

Picture CD is defined by KODAK.

I think this duality came from CDI. ( from Phillips ).

CDI has defined a very versatile format, It can be a pciture Cd,
a game CD, a VCD and may be some other things.

Nero has the "include" CDI application turned on. Thus make the
disc both picture CD and VCD.

If "CDI" player still exist, then we should be able to use its menu
to pick what we want it to be.

Absolutely not.

I think that you are confusing PhotoCD with PictureCD.

The PhotoCD was a stand-alone disc format that could be played on specialised stand-alone players and CD-i players.

VCDs were also designed to be played on stand-alone players (i.e., VCD players which are NOT the same as the stand-alone PhotoCD players) and CD-i players.

CD-i players have long since gone the way of the do-do but they are still required in the specs for VCD: http://www.vcdimager.org/guides/cdi_app.html

The CD-i app is for the benefit of CD-i players only. Not other machine uses it.

There is no duality between PhotoCD and VCD (both include a CD-i application, but are DIFFERENT CD-i apps). They are separate disc formats.

PhotoCD no longer exists -- rather, it is the new Kodak "PictureCD" which is basically just a CD-ROM with pictures. This has nothing to do with CD-i.
