VideoCD

A Video-CD contains MPEG-1 video sequences. The standard for making Video-CDs was laid down by Philips and JVC in the White Book in 1993. The first track contains the CD-i play program for the Video-CD as well as the CDI, MPEGAV and VCD directories based on the ISO 9660 file system. The next tracks are in the format CD-ROM/XA-Mode 2/Form 2 Sectors and contain the MPEG encoded audio/video sequences that are listed in MPEGAV.

Video-CDs can be played on CD-i players, special Video-CD players or on a PC on CD-ROM drives with CD-ROM/XA support and MPEG decoder (standard on Windows 98 and higher) or your own VideoCD software.
