Video CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the
worldwide standards of digital compression
technology.
The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its
original size. Consequently, a 12 cm Video Disc 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 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.
