You may be in for a surprise this summer.  The number of publishers as well

Wrong.  CD-I will also deliver the FMV into a fullscreen window.  As well,
it can be encoded into many different resolutions including those

application to scroll around through the image.

This data can be delivered from a CD, a hard disk, or a network.
