OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 VCD is MPEG1 has a resolution of 352x240 (NTSC) and a constant video bitrate of 1150 (XVCD you can change both of these). SVCD is MPEG2 and has a video resolution of 480x480 and a constant bitrate of 2520, but this can be set to variable to allow for a smaller file size without sacrificing too much quality. SVCD is the way to go if your after quality... check out vcdhelp.com for more info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're not exactly the same thing, but every DVD player that plays VCD should play SVCD just as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook Report post Posted November 20, 2003 Not every dvd player will play both types, but unless your player is an older one (ie, more than five years old), you should be fine. Also, note that ps2 and x-box won't play either type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
