VCD/S-VCD PLAYBACK
_______________________________________
VCD/S-VCD features
You can recognise S-VCD/VCDs (video CDs) by the logo on the label.
Depending on the contents of the S-VCD/VCD (films, music videos etc.), the
discs may carry one or more titles.
Like audio CDs, S-VCDs/VCDs have a track structure.
S-VCDs/VCDs can be created using the PBC (playback control) system for track
navigation. This depends on the processing and burning software used.
You can control and direct playback of the S-VCD/VCD using the menu of the
DVD player on the television screen.
You cannot select some of the functions on the DVD player when you are play-
ing an S-VCD/VCD. This depends on how the S-VCD/VCD was created.
These are:
Video strobe, slow motion, A-B repeat, camera angle, marking scenes.
A search at 20 times normal speed is possible, but repeat functions are only
possible track by track.
Depending on how they were created, S-VCDs can have various subtitles and
dubbed languages.
Activating PBC (playback)
PBC is a navigation option for S-VCD/VCD. PBC information is burned onto the
disc when it is made. PBC is activated by default. PBC and the program info on
the CD enable the navigation options. If a disc has PBC »PBC« can be seen in
the display.
If PBC is switched off, the disc behaves like a normal CD in terms of navigation
(with track structure).
