VIDEO CD
A compact disc containing moving pictures.
Picture data is compressed to 1/120th of the
original data in the MPEG 1 format (one of
the worldwide standards of digital
compression technologies) and recorded on a
disc.
A 12 cm VIDEO CD can reproduce moving
pictures up to 74 minutes long. Audio data is
also compressed so that a VIDEO CD can
contain 6 times as much audio data as an
audio CD.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving
pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play still pictures and
enjoy PBC functions.
Glossary
Index
Markings assigned for particular points to
divide a track or a whole disc. By using
indexes you can easily find particular points
you want. There are two types of index—one
is for audio CDs and the other is for VIDEO
CDs. This player only conforms to the latter
type of index, called “Video Index.”
PBC Playback
Playback using the menus recorded on
VIDEO CDs with PBC functions. You can
enjoy simple interactive operations using the
PBC Playback.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version
2.0) to control playback.
By using menus recorded on VIDEO CDs
with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing
simple interactive software, software with
search functions, and so on. When you insert
a VIDEO CD with PBC functions on this
player, “PBC” appears on the display.
Track
Markings differentiating pictures or songs
recorded on VIDEO CDs or audio CDs. Each
track is assigned with a number, called
“Track Number.”
