VIDEO CD
A compact disc containing moving pictures.
Picture data is compressed to 1/120th of the
original data in the MPEG 1 format (one of
the worldwide standards of digital
compression technologies) and recorded on a
disc.
A 12 cm VIDEO CD can reproduce up to 74
minute’s length of moving pictures. Audio
data is also compressed so that a VIDEO CD
can contain 6 times as much audio data as an
audio CD.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving
pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play still pictures and
enjoy PBC functions.
