VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of a
worldwide standard of 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.
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are
compressed while sounds we can hear are not
compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the
audio information of conventional audio CDs.
There are 3 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.0, 1.1: You can play only moving
pictures and sound.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still
pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This unit conforms to all 3 versions above.
