Hm, is that really all you want to offer as votes?
How about: - MF II-CD (MFCD) Mode/form 2 cd, maybe you remember those old PC keyboard architecture from the 80s? - Extended Video CD (EVCD) Self explanatory - Use All CD (UACD) - HugeCD (HCD) and so on? Best regards, Koepi

done
I voted for MCF-CD ( of course ) but i agree there should be a general name for other purposes. EVCD is quite nice, but as it may contain all sorts of data as i understand it, not only video, its maybe not the right name ? Probably 'More-CD' is not the worst of all .... |

What about "XCD" (Extended CD/Extra CD)? It's very short and reflects an extended format.
I personally don't like much the "MoreCD" name but seems this is the preferred one. EVCD seems a bit confusing (since we already have XVCD, CVCD... people will think it's another VCD variant for standalone players, and currently it's not), and as I said MCF-CD is not suitable because it's a different format.

xcd.org is already blocked by some kind of domain grabber. Like almost all 3 letter domain names. ( http://xcd.org )

Well in fact it's not "Extra CD", but "CD Extra", the name of the existing format. It's a multisession disc with audio tracks in the first one and a data track in the second.
Seems we have two winners, MoreCD and XCD. It's fun because XCD has been on the list less than 24h |

"IEEE1394 is called IEEE1394 in the spec...
Otherwise you call it Firewire, iLink or SB1394... " IEEE is a known and respectable institution. i won't mind this cd format called IEEExyzw. with all due respect, mcf has not yet gained the popularity of IEEE with regard to standards |

is the domain so important? I didn't start my site with having a domain name.. we could always go for something like extended-cd.com. I find it much more important that people can identify with the format thru its name.
