While the first commercial CD-i was pressed in 1990, this prototype disc was made in 1987, four years before the release of CD-i itself in 1991. At the time when this CD-i disc was produced, the only available CD-i
player was the CD-i 180 set. All other CD-i had yet to be developed.
However, this disc doesn't run on any CD-i player, not even the CD-i 180
player. It does not follow the full Green Book specs. So it is
difficult to check the contents, perhaps a raw dump can convert this
into something readable. Having said that, this disc pops up now and
then and it appears to be the very first CD-i software product. Jorg
Kennis: "This disc was available in different colour pressings between
1986 and 1990. It was also included in the CD-i sample Pack (The first
one). On this disc you can compare the different audio and video codecs.
As part of it, there is a piece of spoken word that you can listen to
in either the ADPCM-A, B en C codec. It was this sentence: "Vincent
van Gogh was born in Zundert the Netherlands on March the 30th 1853. He
was given his first painting lessons by Anton Move, while later on he
studied at the Academy of Arts in Antwerp. He did not finish his
studies".
