Video CD\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n(Redirected from Video CDs)\nJump to: navigation, search\n\n    This article is about the all-digital 'Video CD' format. For the earlier (and less successful) analog/digital hybrid, see CD Video.\n\nVideo CD or VCD, or Compact Disc digital video, is a standard digital format for storing video on a Compact Disc. View CDs, as VCDs are sometimes referred to, are playable in dedicated players, personal computers, and many DVD players.\n\nThe VCD standard was created in 1993 by Sony, Philips, Matsushita, and JVC and is referred to as the White Book standard.\n\n    * 1 Technical specifications\n    * 2 Similar formats\n    * 3 Adoption\n    * 4 See also\n    * 5 External links\n\n\n\nTechnical specifications\n\nVCD display resolution is 352 × 240 pixels (NTSC) or 352 × 288 pixels (PAL), approximately one quarter of full TV resolution (720 × 480 and 720 × 576 respectively). VCD video is in MPEG-1 format; audio is encoded as MPEG Layer 2 (MP2); video is stored at 1150 kilobits per second, audio at 224 kbit/s. Overall picture quality is intended to be comparable to VHS video, though visual artifacts may be noticeable in some cases. Poorly compressed video in VCD tends to be blockier than VHS video.\n\nSince the overall bit rate of VCD is approximately equal to the bit rate of an ordinary audio CD, the length of video that can be stored is similar to that of a CD: a standard 74-minute CD can hold about 74 minutes of VCD-format video.\n[edit]\n\nSimilar formats\n\nDesigned to squeeze the most out of a CD is the DVCD or Double VCD where an ordinary CD is overburned to include up to 100 minutes of video. This format is seen only in China and the DVCDs are playable on any DVD or CD player though some CD-ROM drives have problems with this CD.\n\nA variant of the standard Video CD encoding known as KVCD is also supported by some (but not all) standalone DVD players.\n[edit]\n\nAdoption\n\nWhile never gaining a foothold in the United States, Europe or Japan, commercial VCDs are very popular throughout Asia (except Japan) because of the low price of the players, their tolerance of high humidity (a notable problem for VCRs), and the lower-cost media. The negligible cost of the media gave rise to widespread unauthorised copying in these areas, which is probably the reason it was never widely supported by the entertainment industry in the United States. The advent of recordable CDs and inexpensive recorders has spurred a rapid growth of their acceptance in the US, since most DVD players can play them.\n\nThe VCD format allows home computer users to create home movies on CD. Almost all DVD players are capable of playing regular VCDs. However, not all DVD players can read the CD-R media, hence homemade VCDs produced by CD burners (versus those produced by pressing) may not be playable on some DVD players. Such incompatibility is a major problem that prevents consumers from distributing their home-made VCDs such as their Christmas or other holiday greetings to relatives.\n\n\nMany commercial Video CDs of blockbuster Hollywood and Asian movies and television series are not widely available in the Western countries; however, they are available in certain ethnic communities and several commercial web sites (although quality and authenticity may sometimes be questionable). These VCDs are often produced and sold in Asian countries such as Hong Kong, Mainland China, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. In many Asian countries, major Hollywood studios have licensed companies to officially produce and distribute the VCDs, such as ERA of Hong Kong or Sunny Video in Malaysia, as well as HVN in both Malaysia and Singapore. Legal Video CDs can often be found in established video stores and major book outlets in most Asian countries.\n\nDue to relative small storage capacity, feature-length films sold on VCD are usually divided into two or three discs and television series may come in a box set pack

Still using a CDRom drive?? It's time to upgrade to a DVD Rom and start watching DVD movies on your PC.\n\nIf they are AVI or MPEG files convert to VCD or SVCD format. Use TMPGenc Plus media files processor. \n\nNero Burning Rom will burn CDRom disks to suit the VCD/SVCD format.\n\nBut why bother? VCD has the lowest end in terms of viewing quality! SVCD is OK but u are grabbling with disks.\n\nYou are gonna end up with 2 disks for VCD and 3 - 4 disks for SVCDs, but they will play on your DVD player on your home TV.\n\nIf your movie files are in Xvid or Divx format, simply burn as DATA onto CDRom disks. Xvid or Divx are approx. 600mb plus sized.  You can only view them on a PC. Alternatively, there are Xvid compatible home DVD players on the market now.

The easiest way to do this would be to download a free version of Roxio CD creator(roxio audio central).Use that's program to write to cd,it will allow to change the file format,and most of the time will do it for you during the conversion cycle when writing to CD.\n You can go to Cnet or freesoft ,which are shareware directories, and search for Roxio and select the free version.\n Windows Media & Winamp will work as well, but roxio's program allows you to do it much faster and has a drag and drop feature for list building.
