Enhanced CDs on DVD players

I know you can play the videos on enhanced CDs on your computer, but can you play them in DVD players too? Or do some DVD players play them and others not?

Please advise.

Still looking for an answer to my query above. I found a faq that doesn't fully answer my question...

[2.4.9] Is Enhanced CD compatible with DVD?
Yes. DVD players will play music from enhanced music CDs (Blue Book, CD Plus, CD Extra), and DVD-ROM drives will play music and read data from enhanced CDs.


What I want to know is will the DVD player also read the data (video) from enhanced CDs, as DVD-ROM drives do? I want a DVD player that will do more than just play the music on my enhanced CDs.

FYI, enhanced CDs are also sometimes termed "Blue Book" or "stamped multisession" if that helps anyone to answer my question.

DVD players will not do the PC "enhanced" features.

Thanks, David. Do you have any idea if the next generation of DVD players might, or is this just something that I am going to have to resign myself to never happening?

Those features are designed for a PC, as far as I know they won't now or in the future work in standalones.
