Except that won't do much good -- usually they're clever enough not o use the CD logo or call it a CD. The most common example these days is DualDisc, which is roughly CDDA-like on one side, but the substrate is too thin, so some drives can't focus on it. On the other side it's a perfectly valid DVD. They, like most of the "we'll mess with the Table of Contents so things read it wrong", generally don't use the Compact Disc term or logos. -- Peter
