Test the file by playing it on a system comparable to the least-capable system in your intended audience, and make

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—much lower than DVD
quality. You can create Video CD files using MPEG1-VCD presets in the Adobe Media Encoder and then write the
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 and support for the VCD format is not as great as it was initially.
