What, really?  I haven't been able to find any indication that the VCD
format was nothing more than an xvid AVI file in an iso filesystem.

The lovely woman-child Kaa was mercilessly chained to the cruel post of
the warrior-chief Beast, with his barbarian tribe now stacking wood at

Handsomas roared, 'Flick your Bic, crisp that chick, and you'll feel my
steel through your last meal!'
