Super Video CD (SVCD)

The Super Video CD (SVCD) is a technological advancement of the video CD. SVCDs
are also like VCD-specified CD-ROMs which can be played using either a Super
Video CD player (connected to the television), or directly with the CD-ROM drive of a
computer. Many DVD players can also play SVCDs. MPEG-2 and the increase of the
data transfer rate makes it hard to tell videos from videos in DVD quality apart.
Resolution: SVCDs use the better MPEG-2 encoder in a standardized resolution of
480 x 576 (PAL). The MPEG-2 format offers a maximum resolution of up to 720 x
576 points and improved compression methods characterized by excellent image
definition and homogeneity.
Hard disk capacity: An average 90-minute movie must be spread across 3 CDs. On
one SVCD you can get about 30 minutes of good-quality movie.
Encoder setting: Compared to the VCD with 1.3, the data transfer rate is doubled to
2.6 Mbit/s.
MPEG-2 format introduces the so-called variable bit rate (VBR). In contrast to the
constant bit rate (CBR) of the MPEG-1 encoders, this encoder has the option of using
more bits for movement-intensive sections, as well as saving bits if picture content
remains the same.
