Good luck with trying EAC on the disc, but the way I understand it from John's post, it may well not work- because the "data" on the CD-V is not even digitally stored in a way that a CD-ROM drive could even translate into a computer file. It could be compared to trying to get a normal CD-ROM drive to read any data off a DVD.
EAC won't work with the video portion, although it is a wonderful tool for all things CD-audio.
So does anybody have *any* other CD-V discs of any kind? Were there any other singles put out in this format?
Yep. There were a number of them; I remember seeing the Timelords one, as well as a couple for the Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, etc. Also, the David Bowie Sound and Vision boxed set had a "bonus" disc that included the video for Ashes To Ashes. That one is the only one I actually own. Of course, you also have the usual issues between PAL and NTSC...AFAIR, the singles I saw were fairly evenly split between UK and US releases. These CDs are playable in any laser disc player (assuming it is capable of playing 5" discs, and most of them were), but you simply can't play the video portion in anything else. If it matters, it should be reasonably cheap to pick up an old laser disc player second hand... BTW, discussion should probably migrate to the mailman version of this list; Lazlo will probably be shutting down the lists.xmission.com one at some point...
