CDXL?  It might have been fine on CDTV, but when even the old SegaCD did CiniPak, we need something a bit more robust.

	Take, for instance, something shown at the Italian Amiga Developers show a few month back (see AmigaReport for a run-down), it was a variation of how ILBM encoding that we use now in IFFs could work better with video, now all that's needed is some kind of link-in for sound (which the IFF format could allow) and we'd have something that might get decient performance out of A1200s and up.

	At least untill AmigaTech settle on a DTV format (if not QuickTime)
