Green Book CD-ROM

A standard CD-ROM format developed by Philips for CD-i.

It is ISO 9660 compliant and uses mode 2 form 2 addressing.

It can only be played on drives which are XA (ExtendedArchitecture) compatible.

Many Green Book discs contain CD-i applications which can

only be played on a CD-i player but many others contain

films or music videos. Video CDs in Green Book format are

normally labelled "Digital Video on CD"

Green Book was obsoleted by White book CD-ROM in March 1994.
