VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the worldwide standards for 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 the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional AUDIO CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
Version 1.1: You can play back only moving pictures and sounds.
Version 2.0: You can play back high- resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This system conforms to both versions.
