Pathe Interactive and the Interactive Media Fund (EU subsidary program) made it possible for Bertelsmann Lexikon Verlag and Turner Publishing to release a german encyclopedia on CD-i, in the same line as the dutch Philips Media Interactieve Encyclopedie by SPC Vision, which was also funded by the Interactive Media Fund and also the Pathe Interactive logo is on the box. I'm not sure what the involvement of Pathe Interactive was in these titles. Would it be have to do something with the video encoding or the use of certain video tools? Encyclopedias on CD-i were actually a hit: The Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia was popular on CD-i in 1992 and in 1995, thanks to its success, Compton's NewMedia was able to release a version including digital video: It means that the encyclopedia would be content-wise similar, but the low-res videos would be adapted to full screen video format.
In the case of Bertelsmann Universal Lexikon however, they included both the base base version as the Digital Video version as a double disc in one package. So you would get the encyclopedia twice, on two discs. The blue one is the base-case version and holds the classic Compact Disc Interactive logo. The green is the Digital Video version and holds the Compact Disc Digital Video version. (They didn't use this logo a lot)
