Why Are VCD Gaining Popularity In United States, Europe And Australia?

VCDs are very popular in Asia and are gaining popularity in United States, Europe and Australia. Nowadays, VCDs have practically replaced video cassettes in Asia. The main reason is because VCD is cheap compared to DVDs and the quality is even better than VHS. It can also last much longer than VHS and has no drop in sound/picture quality when stored for a long time. It is much smaller in size, easier to store, that is why it is ideal for movie collectors! One good aspect is that it can be played on DVD, LD players, a computer and many other devices. Also, the popularity of VCDs is on the rise because of the gaining interest among Americans and Canadians for Hong Kong movies.

Back To Top

What Are The Advantages Of VCD (Video CD)?

  • All video CD can be played anywhere in the world. It does not have lockout codes that disallow you playing movies that are bought elsewhere except from your region.

  • No compatibility problems caused by different formats. All Video CD are playable on any machine capable of playing Video CD anywhere in the world.

  • Random Access for quick search.

  • Multiple audio/voice tracks for multilingual support.

  • It is a cheaper alternative for DVDs and Laser Discs.

  • Smaller in size than bulky VHS and easier to store.

  • Its picture and sound WILL NOT deteriorate with time, unlike VHS. If you are a movie collector, you can keep your collection for a very long time.

How To Play Video CD / DVD?

Any of the following player plays Video CD :-

  • Video CD Players

    Video CD machines are very popular in Asia. It may not all that popular elsewhere in the world. So, if you do have a video CD machine, you will be able to play Video CDs using it.

  • DVD Player

    DVD players which supported VCD playback will be able play Video CD movies as well as DVD movies. Please consult your player's user manual to confirm.

  • Playstation 2

    We were informed by a Sony Representative that the PS/2 does not have the capability to play VCD, although DVD is supported.

  • Your Computer

    Most of the personal computers today, are equipped with CD-ROM drive, sound card and speakers. You can play Video CD on your computer if it is a Pentium and above system with multimedia. To achieve smoother viewing, I would suggest you to put your CD-ROM drive on the second IDE channel, separated from the hard drive which is usually fixed on primary IDE channel.

    Playback Software:

    For Windows 95 / 98:
    Windows Media Player can be used to play Video CD. Follow the below steps to play your Video CD.

    1. Launch Windows Media Player. Normally you can find it at Accessories -> Multimedia.

    2. Click File -> Open.

    3. Click Browse.

    4. Select your CD-ROM drive from the Open dialog box.

    5. You'll notice several folders. Select "mpegav" subdirectory.

    6. Double click on the file with extension *.dat.

    7. You are up and running to play your Video CD.

    However, please note that some VCDs may not play well or cannot be played using Windows Media Player. In that case, please download the alternative MPEG playback software:

    1. Xing MPEG
    2. VCD Power Player

    A customer also recommended VCDGear, an application that allows one to extract VCD compliant MPEG streams from various types of CD images or track images, perform stream conversions, and has the ability to correct certain errors in the MPEG.

    For adventurous customers, if you wish to get a crispier and clearer picture quality, or to play the VCDs that Windows Media Player can't play, try to get this useful tool, available as freeware for public download at http://www.vcdgear.com.

    For Macintosh:

    1. Mac version of QuickTime and CD-ROM SpeedTools Driver
      (To install the SpeedTools Driver, please disable the Apple CD driver extension).
    2. MacVCD

    Normally these playback software comes along as complimentary with your Video Adapter Card. For more information, please lookup at their respective web sites.

If you still encounter difficulties, please do not hesitate to seek our assistance at support@arabic-web.de. We will try our best to guide you towards the excitement of playing Video CD.

What Other Equipment Can Be Used To Play VCD?

  • Playstation Consoles with VCD Add-on [ a.k.a. the Movie Card ].

  • Saturn Consoles with VCD Add-on.

  • Doctor V64 / CD 64.

  • Some CD-I Players.

  • Some 3DO Game Consoles.

  • Some Laser Disc Players.

Back To Top

Are DVD And Video CD The Same?

No. Although DVD players will be able play Video CD movies as well as DVD movies. DVD movies are encoded using a compression technique called MPEG2. Video CD on the other hand is encoded using MPEG1 compression. Since MPEG2 decoders (your DVD player) are backward compatible, most of the time, you will be able to play Video CD using your DVD player. However, you cannot play DVD using your Video CD players. Please consult your player's manual for confirmation.

Back To Top

Can I Play DVD Using My Computer?

Yes, provided you have a DVD drive installed. If you only have a conventional CD-ROM drive, then you can only play Video CD on your computer, not DVDs.

Back To Top

What's The Quality Of VCD Like?

Because of the capacity to hold more data, DVD movies are of more superior quality compared to VCDs. DVD can hold up to 26 more times (6 Gigabytes) of data as compared with VCD (650 Megabytes). One of the objectives of the MPEG-1 standard for VCD was to get the quality comparable to S-VHS. In practice, picture quality when using a VCD players may somehow be almost as good as laser disc, depending on the encoding. VCDs are playable on any machine capable of playing VCD anywhere in the world. This is because VCDs have no incompatibility problem caused by different formats such as PAL, NTSC & SECAM, and also do not have lockout codes that disallow you playing movies that are not bought in your region.

Back To Top

What Are The Differences Between NTSC And PAL?

There are two TV video standards, NTSC and PAL. NTSC is used in North America, and PAL is used almost everywhere else in the world. Most hardware devices (DVD or VCD players) that play PAL video resolution out on a NTSC monitor correctly will cut approximately 24 lines of resolution from the top and bottom of a PAL image. Almost all VCDs are in PAL resolution, as they are manufactured in Asia. This is usually not an issue, because not much details are lost by such truncation. Note : NTSC has 352 X 240 video resolution and PAL's video resolution is 352 X 288. This PAL to NTSC video conversion / truncation problem does not exist when viewed on a PC monitor as the PC just displays the whole image. Nowadays, most TVs and DVD players are multisync, meaning that it will play both NTSC or PAL format, thus VCDs in PAL format will play well on these players.

Back To Top

Do The Movies Contain Subtitles?

No, our English movies do not contain subtitles unless clearly stated. We do not normally carry English movies with subtitles. There are only a very small number of English movies that contain subtitles. These are clearly stated in the VCD description pages.

If you do not see anything concerning subtitles, then you can safely assume that the movie does not contain subtitles.

However, VCD other than English movies, such as anime titles, might have English subtitles. Again, these are clearly stated in the VCD description page.
