Topic: VCD


In the News (Sun 12 Oct 08)

  
  Video CD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
VCD is gradually being replaced by DVD, which offers most of the same advantages to Asian buyers as VCD, as well as a much better quality picture (with less digital compression artefacts) and sound (often in Dolby Digital and/or DTS), due to its larger storage capacity.
VCD is also a very popular format for karaoke in East Asia, where picture quality concern is not paramount.

 VCD - a Whatis.com definition - see also: Video CD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
VCD has a resolution similar to that of VHS, which is far short of the resolution of DVD.
VCDs can be played on a VCD player connected to a television set (in the same way that video cassettes can on a VCR) or computer, on a CD-i player, on some CD-ROM drives, and some DVD players.
VCD is more common in Asia than it is in North America, where the VCR had already cornered the home video market by the time that VCD was introduced.

 Alt.Binaries.VCD FAQ v. 5.02
The VCD groups can be likened to the difference between a back hill road and a freeway in a large city.
A SVCD is very similar to a VCD, it has the capacity to hold about 35-60 minutes on 74/80 min CDs of very good quality full-motion video along with up to 2 stereo audio tracks and also 4 removable subtitles.
This has been known to fix VCD and SVCD mpegs, it will require around 3 or 4 times the space that your existing data is taking up as you don't want to delete the originals until you are sure the end result has fixed the problem.

For an VCD compatibel output the -s (Generate a sequence header for every GOP) is needed.
Never try for VCD -m or -b It seems that many VCD players (Avex for example) are not able to play MPEG streams that are encoded with an search radius greater than 16.
With higher bit-rates and good quality source material it is worth trying mpeg2enc's -h flag which produce a stream that is as sharp as the limits of the VCD standard permits.

 VCD/SVCD FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
VCD has fixed bitrate which means you have no choice but to encode using the default settings of 1150kbit/s for video and 224kbit/s for audio, and cut to how many CDs are needed.
VCD has fixed bitrates for both audio and video: 1150KBit/s for video and 224KBit/s for audio.
Some programs claim that they are VCD compliant but in fact they are not and the resulting files will either not play at all or play very choppy.

 Copying VCD's
If you have a show on VCD and if you can make CD-R's on your computer, there is no reason to bother to copy to a VHS tape anymore as long as the person you're trading with has a VCD player.
VCD's have the advantages of being much more compact than video tapes, and allowing anyone to make digital copies as good as the original source VCD.
VCD's are vastly inferior to DVD's in a whole host of areas (video quality, sound quality, capacity, subtitling, etc.), and, since writable DVD's are becoming cheap, VCD's will likely be abandoned soon.

 Video CD FAQ
But because VCDs are so popular in Asia, almost all HK films released in the last few years are available on VCD: you can easily order them by mail for US $10-20.
Picture quality when using a VCD player is generally comparable to VHS, but I've never seen a VCD that I thought was better quality than VHS, and I've seen several that were quite a bit worse: if the encoding isn't done well (which requires high-end hardware and software), you can see blockiness in the image.
If you play a PAL VCD on a Panasonic or RCA DVD player, it will cut off the entire 48 lines off the bottom of the image, which is enough to cut off the subtitles for a Hong Kong movie.

A VCD can be played on almost all standalone DVD Players and of course on all computers with a DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive with the help of a software based decoder / player.

 Making Video CDs under Linux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
VCDs use a special type of CD sectors (mode 2 form 2) and have a special form of the filesystem, so they can not be mastered with the usual Linux CD-Tools (like mkisofs and cdrecord).
VCDs should be able to be played back by the windows Media Player now.
If video and audio stream bitrates comply exactly with the VCD specification (1152 KBit/s or 224 KBit/s respectivly), exactly 75 sectors/second are generated and the system stream is stuffed with padding sectors as needed.

 Super Video CD Overview
Since most of the White Book VCD players were based on C-Cube's MPEG decoder chipset, the company was able to develop its own next-generation standard in close co-operation with major Chinese hardware manufacturers.
However, most of the big VCD player manufacturers in China were backing C-Cube's CVD standard, and there were already approximately 300 000 to 600 000 CVD players in the distribution channels.
In terms of video and audio quality, SVCD is in between VCD 2.0 and DVD, using a 2x CD drive to support variable bitrate (VBR) MPEG-2 video up to 2.6 Mbps, and either 1 or 2 MPEG-2 Layer II stereo audio streams (for soundtracks in two different languages).
