I own a Pioneer CLD-M90 Laserdisc/Cd/CDV Player. Yay, me! Whooo!

What types of files can I download that can be played on this. Is CDV just the 'old' way of saying VCD?

No, CD-V was basically audio CDs with a music video attached. It's based on the same standard as LaserDisc: Frequency-modulated analog video.

VCD is digital, MPEG-1 as opposed to DVD's MPEG-2. The similarity in encoding means that it's not much problem for DVD players to include VCD functionality. But LaserDisc players typically have no MPEG video capability.

CDV was something different -an old obsolete format.
