VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving
pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1
format, one of the worldwide standards
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
the sounds we can hear are not
compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6
times the audio information of
conventional audio CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only
moving pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-
resolution still pictures and enjoy
PBC functions.
This player conforms to both versions.
