VIDEO CD

A compact disc that contains moving pictures. The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.

VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold six times the audio information of conventional audio CDs. There are two versions of VIDEO CDs.

Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and sounds.

Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.

This system conforms to both versions.
