Spent much of yesterday going through my brother's collection of old
photo CDs. The good news is that only one CD "failed" (couldn't load
it) and only a couple had a weird file format that had to be converted
to .jpg (though a third was in a file format that could *not* be
converted, and it looks like it's so old that no converter or viewer
app for that format exists anymore!). So, two bad disks out of over a
dozen isn't bad.

Have you tried putting the format extension name in Wikipedia?  That might give you some clues as to if there is a player that supports it. It might even have a link to the website if it exists.

So, TV viewing was not the focus yesterday.

I did forget to mention on Thursday that I saw whatever ep of "Grey's
Anatomy" there were showing - it wasn't a very good episode: Adelaide
Kane's character seemed to be the focus, but her character's whiny and
annoying, and she's not looking so hot these days. Meanwhile, Chris
Carmack's character proposes to a very preggers Jo (Camilla Luddington)!

I watched the same episode. I get what you are saying about Kane's
character's behavior but it looks like she is dealing with her sadness
so that may be changing.

I also watched the latest DOCTOR ODYSSEY episode where in a pod of
Orcas decide attacking a cruise ship makes sense. Which I guess goes
along with the idea that a single shark driving itself into the single
propeller was enough to knock out all power on the ship. Of course
there were multiple emergencies that occurred during the power outage
and they couldn't fix it until they cut through a bulk head in the
engine room that was locked off once the power went out.

50 Quatloos sez the cruise ship will go in to orbit before the end of the season....
 

That might get me to watch.
This is a two day catch-up.  I watched:
Law & Order - "Crossing Lines" - Season 24, episode 15 - A woman is prosecuted for murder, but her defense attorney (Maggie Siff) is sleeping with the DA, and she intends to use that relationship to her advantage.
Law & Oder: SVU - "Undertow" - Season 26, episode 15 - Team SVU goes after a 20 something female teacher for the statutory rape of a teenage boy, who she thought was over 18 when she saw him drinking at a bar. There are a few things I could say about this episode, but I'll move on.
The Equalizer - "Stolen Angel" - Season 5, episode 9, Episode from a few weeks ago which has Team McCall stopping a baby kidnapping scheme.  I know the police don't like McCall since she's a vigilante, but if she and her friends are going around shooting people in broad daylight (which they do every episode) you'd think the police would put that dislike into action and arrest her the next time she casually strolls into the police station.
9-1-1 - Voices" - Season 8, episode 10.  SPOILERS!
SPOILERS!
Picking up where last episode ended, everyone is dealing with the consequences from Jennifer Love Hewitt into talking a man into killing himself last week.  Except it's revealed that Hewitt didn't talk the man into killing himself, he was murdered by a psycho cop who faked everything.  And now the psycho cop suspects Hewitt may be on to her so she kidnaps Hewitt and plans to murder her.  To make matters worse, the psycho cop is in charge of the kidnap investigation.  I wonder how hard she's going to search for the real kidnapper.  This was an OK episode.
Cobra Kai (Netflix) - "Sleeper" - Season 6, episode 3.  In Korea Kreese begins to mold the minds of his new students, with a particular emphasis on the virtues of being evil.  Meanwhile in the U.S., Daniel discovers some previously unknown secrets about Mr. Miyagi.  This is just a guess, but I'm guessing this is laying the groundwork for the new movie and why Jackie Chan is coming to America looking for Mr. Miyagi.
