Yes, FMV is in the CD-I spec, but no-one has seen an implementation yet
have they!  (I've certainly not heard of >screen resolution video
being available). The players I have seen certainly couldn't do FMV and the
companies demonstrating them made no pretence that they could.

Also Phillips have said they will be supporting MPEG and that isn't 
even defined yet so I think it will be some time before we
see FMV from CD-I.

If you have facts or references to prove me wrong so I can correct
the report I'm writing at the moment please send them to me.
