Video CD
Any CD that contains motion pictures can be played.
You can enjoy motion pictures with the sound quality of MDs and the
picture quality of VHS tapes.
Digital compression technology allows the continuous playback of
up to 74 minutes from a 12 cm disc.

The disc symbols are found on the disc labels or jackets.
