Are video DVDs and audio CDs that come with board games and party games in scope for redump? I have a number of these, e.g.:

• Classic British Comedies The DVD Board Game

• Scene It? Music

• Hasbro Disney Trivial Pursuit DVD

• Inspector McClue Murder Mystery Game - The Red Rose Murders

They aren't really videogames as such, but I do think it would be great if they were catalogued and preserved somewhere.

I understand that the DNAS Disc ID (and the similar SUD ID on utility discs) is stored on PS2 discs in such a way that can only be read by the PS2 itself, using homebrew for example.

Regardless of whether those IDs are still useful or not, does that mean that we should be dumping PS2 discs differently, given the principle that we should try and preserve everything contained on the disc?

If those IDs are only readable by the PS2 itself, are there any other bits of the disc that are similarly only readable by the PS2? Maybe we should be dumping PS2 discs with PS2 optical drives?

And out of interest, where exactly are these IDs stored on the disc, and how are they only readable by the PS2? Maybe it's possible (e.g. with hacked firmware) to read them on normal optical drives after all?

In the Additional Information tab in MFC, and in http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … Site_Codes , what's the difference between the BBFC and VFC entries? All the BBFC codes I've seen start with "VFC".

Is there a separate organisation called VFC or something?
