Video CD
A Video CD is a CD that contains MPEG 1 data that
can be watched on your computer and/or many com-
mercial DVD players). Discribe can create a Video CD
using properly formatted MPEG 1 streams.
The MPEG-1 streams that Discribe can handle must
meet the following criteria:
Resolution: 352x288 (PAL), 352x240 ("FILM"), or
320x240 (NTSC)
Frame Rate: 25fps (PAL), 30 or 29.97fps (NTSC) and
24 or 23.976fps ("FILM")
Video Data Rate: 1152Kbit/sec (some software
rounds it to 1150Kbit/sec) or 1.125Mbit/sec
NOTE
"FILM" is NTSC encoded video in 24fps or 23.976fps, not fre-
quently used by amateurs unless they convert to Video-CD from a
DVD movie encoded at 24fps (progressive).
