Viewing VCD’s

There are two types of VCD’s: 

VCD 1/1.1 Format

This format of VCD has no menu, track search and other video features available, as this format does not support PBC. 

The same as with audio CD’s, these discs will auto-play with full motion-picture audio and video, but with no support for 

menus and custom track selection

VCD 2.0 Format 

2.0 formatted VCD’s are equipped with PBC support. PBC (playback control) allows for user-interaction with system 

menus, search functions and other video-based operations. Moreover, high-resolution still pictures (JPG/JPEG) can be 

displayed if they are embedded in a VCD track/scene
