Getting
Started
In order to create Video Compact Disks or
Super
Video Compact Disks you must have an optical
CD writer installed on your
computer and appropriate authoring software. There are essentially
two basic formats that can be used on
CD writable media.
- Video CD
which was the first widely accepted movie on disk format for
computer and standalone devices. VCD provides quality approaching
that of VHS tape.
- Super Video CD
which is the next generation of VCD offering higher resolution and
sharper images comparable to S-VHS.
DVD
requires a DVD writer and authoring software.
The file structures and support files required
for each of these disk types is very specific as is the format of
the movie itself. Although the file compression in all cases is
called MPEG there are vast differences between them.
