Playing Video CDs (with PBC)
What’s a Video CD?
It’s a disc that delivers the MD sound quality and VHS picture quality. Thanks to digital signal compression technology (MPEG system), you can enjoy up to 74 minutes of continuous video and audio from a single disc. There are two kinds of Video CD. To control Video CD play, one kind of disc (Version 2.0) features a Play- back Control signal (hereafter referred to as PBC). The other kind of disc (Version 1.1) does not feature a re- corded PBC signal.
