On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control)

functions, the menu screens, moving pictures,

and still pictures are divided into sections called

"scenes".

Track

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a CD,

VIDEO CD or MP3. An album is composed of

several tracks (MP3 only).

VIDEO CD

A compact disc that contains moving pictures.

The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of

the worldwide standards for 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 system conforms to both versions.
