Exporting
Last updated 11/6/2011
Encode your files so that they do not exceed the storage capacity of the target CD: 650 MB or 700 MB. However, to
ensure that your files play back successfully, also encode them with the hardware and software available to your
audience in mind. Keep the file data rate low enough to limit file size to CD capacity, but also to ensure smooth
playback on a range of systems. Also, set the data rate low enough for any of your intended viewers who use older CD-
ROM drives, or computers with slower processors (CPUs).
Exporting files for Video CD playback (Windows only)
Video CD (VCD) is a format that allows video to be played back on computers or players that support the Video CD
standard. The advantage of Video CD is that it can be created using the proper software and a CD recorder; a DVD
recorder isn’t required. On the other hand, VCD quality is comparable to VHS quality—much lower than DVD
quality. You can create Video CD files using MPEG1-VCD presets in the Adobe Media Encoder. Then, you can write
the MPEG1 files to a recordable CD using a program that can create a VCD. However, because DVD media, recorders,
and players are widespread and affordable, the demand for the VCD format is not as great as it was initially.
