2.4.7 Is Photo CD compatible with DVD?

Not yet. Since Photo CDs are usually on CD-R media, they may suffer from
the CD-R problem (see 2.4.3). That aside, DVD players could support Photo
CD with a few extra chips and a license from Kodak. No one has announced
such a player. Most DVD-ROM drives will read Photo CDs (if they read CD-Rs)
since it's trivial to support the XA and Orange Book multisession
standards. The more important question is, "Does the OS or application
support Photo CD?" but that's beyond the scope of this FAQ.
