VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of
the worldwide standards for digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to
about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a
12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes
of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data.
Sound outside the range of human hearing are
compressed while the sounds we can hear are
not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times
the audio information of conventional AUDIO
CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play back only moving
pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play back high-
resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC
functions.
This system conforms to both versions.
