MPEG-1 file for VCD

A VCD is simply a special version of a CD- ROM. The exciting thing about this format is that it can be read by CD-ROMs, VCD players, or even DVD players.

Just about any format: AVI, MPEG-1, or MPEG-2, can be played back on a computer. When you want to create a VCD file, how- ever, you need to use a special WhiteBook standardMPEG-1filethathasverytechnical specifications. Fortunately, creating such a file is easy with Ulead VideoStudio.

1.Open your project and click the Finish Step.

2.Click Create Video File arrow to display a submenu of file types.

3.Choose NTSC VCD or PAL VCD, depending on your TV standard. The Create Video File dialog box is displayed. Enter a file name and click Save to render your movie.

Note:MPEG-1 is a highly compressed format that maintains very good quality.Once the file is created, you can use Ulead DVD Wizard to write (burn) the CD on your CD writer.
