MAME is an English project so any useful comments should be in English.
However the comments you added to the src are not useful and should be removed, especially the link to files.

Where did the CD dump come from? If you dumped it please provide a pic of the actual original CD that shipped with the arcade game.

The youngest person to ever contribute a driver to MAME was 15. The youngest person to contribute code changes was somewhere around 13 or 14. You are not at the level of any of them.

Between comments not written in English, mangled indentation, and the self-admitted use of AI, this is just plain not going in.

Spend some time to actually learn C++, which is the language that MAME is written in (not C). Your enthusiasm is admirable but your abilities leave a lot to be desired, and you're not helping yourself by using AI. Shut ChatGPT off and go crack open a book. You'll thank me for this in about 5-10 years.

Tried this, got Fatal Error: Laserdisc video must be compressed with the A/V codec!

This indicates that you did not test your chds to see if they even worked.

Umm yeah it would be best if the guy just provided the dump (if it's legitimate/real) and let experienced people handle it.

I believe it's an audio CD according to some other comments in the src. It's not a LD. There is no way this inexperrienced guy could dump a laserdisc.

Yeah, this is wrong on pretty much every conceivable level.
If this is the source I believe it to be, there's good reason why I didn't add it when updating other parts of the driver, namely, it doesn't meet any of the accepted standards for LDCHD.
No VBI, lossy, interframe compression, just no.
If I can't trust that, I can't trust any of the rest of it.

For the curious souls:
copscd.chd contains an ISO made in PowerISO containing an archive.org-converted MP3 of the audio CD.
copsld.chd contains an ISO made the same way, containing the 640x480 MP4 video capture from the same IA item.

Well, you heard it here first, folks. Instead of learning anything, our wunderkind is going to do his own emulation, in Python, with blackjack, and ladies of the night. I wish him all the best, but with the last bit of data from @einstein95, I'd say we're about done here.
