I have installed this Creative videoblaster MP400 in my P166. Everything seems to be in order.
The real problem now, is that I have no CD-I movies, and I can not find anything legal on the net.

Does anyone know if there is a LEGAL downloadable CD-I ISO file out on the net, that I can
download in order to test my card? I am thinking about the usual nature-tech-video stuff.

Is there only software to play CD-I movies? No simple MPEG files or VCD's?

Nope. Only the drivers that I have found on the net.

I think correctly authored VCDs should be CD-I compatible, at least most CD-I players will play them.

New PC: i9 12900K @5GHz all cores @1.2v. MSI PRO Z690-A. 32GB DDR4 3600 CL14. 3070Ti.

Interesting stuff, never really heard about CD-I.
According to http://www.isobuster.com/help/cd-i_and_vcd many (if not most) CD-ROM-drives will have trouble reading CD-I media so I don't know if that would work. Was there a special CD-ROM bundled with the card?
Perhaps it would be easiest to try playing a VCD first.

A cd-i player can play cd-i movies and vcd movies. A vcd player, and most likely pc vcd software/ hardware cannot play cd-i movies. This is due to the fact the cd-i uses green book standard for storing data on the disc. Vcd disks use white book standard.
