In the latest EE Times is an article about the new "Karaoke-CD" format. This format fits about 70 minutes of motion video and audio on a 5" CD. The interesting part was that the head of product development at C= was quoted as having a version of CDTV that will support this format (with an MPEG-1 decompression chip onboard) currently in development, due out this fall. FYI…

What does MPEG stand for anyways? Will the new CDTV run Amigados version 3? Will it have AGA, ECS or what? Will it have the DSP?

The article that I have was about the Karaoke-CD format. The CDTV nugget was very brief, and pointed more towards a show of support for the new CD format than to exactly what C= was doing.

David, I hope you're right about this. That new CD-ROM, CD-TV, is what we need right now. I hope Commodore told some developers about it too so we don't have to wait for ever for CD ROMs to come out that support ti> Peter
