VIDEO CD
A compact disc which contains moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs contain compact picture information using the MPEG 1 format, one of the worldwide standards for digital compression technology. The picture information is compressed about 120 times. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio information. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed.
VIDEO CDs can hold six times the audio information of conventional audio CDs.
There are two versions for VIDEO CDs:
Version 1.1 (VIDEO CDs without PBC functions):
You can play only moving pictures and sounds.
Version 2.0 (VIDEO CDs with PBC functions): You can play still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This player can play both versions.
