20.Glossary / Key Word Index

20.1What are DVDs, VCDs and S-VCDs?

DVDs

DVD is the abbreviation for "Digital Versatile Disc". DVDs are a storage medium for audio and video data; they are available in 8 cm and 12 cm (Diameter) formats. Because of the much higher storage capacity as compared to CD-Rs/CD-RWs DVDs can provide a playback duration of up to eight hours for the audio and video data stored on them.

VCDs/S-VCDs

"Video CD" (VCD) and "Super Video CD" (S-VCD) are designations for two processes of compressed storage, thus space saving, of films on CDs. VCDs and S-VCDs are available in 8 cm and 12 cm (Dia- meter) formats. Their storage capacity is a great deal lower than that of DVDs. For this reason they only offer a playback duration, for the saved audio and video data on them, of 20 minutes (8 cm format) and/or 74 minutes (12 cm format).

VCDs are available in two versions:

•With version 1.1 VCDs/S-VCDs only audio and video data can be played back.

•With version 2.0 VCDs/S-VCDs, PBC (Playback Control) functions are available. In addition still images can be played back in a higher resolution.
