2.4.11 Is CDV compatible with DVD?

Sort of. CDV, sometimes called Video Single, is actually a weird
combination of CD and laserdisc. Part of the disc contains 20 minutes of
digital audio playable on any CD or DVD player. The other part contains 5
minutes of analog video and digital audio in laserdisc format, playable
only on a CDV-compatible system. Pioneer's combination DVD/laserdisc
players are the only DVD players that can play CDVs.

LD/CDV players can't play DVDs. (See 2.5 for more LD info.)
