Playing Video CDs (with PBC)

What's a Video CD?
It's a disc that delivers the MD sound quality and VHS
picture quality. Thanks to digital signal compression
technology (MPEG system), you can enjoy up to 74
minutes of continuous video and audio from a single
disc. There are two kinds of Video CD. To control Video
CD play, one kind of disc (Version 2.0) features a Play-
back Control signal (hereafter referred to as PBC). The
other kind of disc (Version 1.1) does not feature a re-
corded PBC signal.
