VCD stands for 'Video Compact Disc' and basically it is a CD that contains video and audio. If you're familiar with regular audio/music CDs, then you will know what a VCD looks like. A VCD has the capacity to hold up to 74/80 minutes on 650MB/700MB CDs respectively of full-motion video along with quality stereo sound (2-channel 16-bit PCM clocked at 44100 Hz). VCDs use a compression standard called MPEG to store the video and audio. VCD Audio uses MP2 (MPEG Audio Layer-2) compression. What is MP3? MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3, which revolutionized digital music. Derived from the audio sections of the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video specifications, MP3 compresses CD-quality sound by a factor of roughly 10, while retaining most of the original fidelity. MP3 files are played on the computer via media player software, such as Apple's iTunes and Microsoft's Windows Media Player, as well as in countless iPods and other handheld players. While 128 Kbps (kilobits per second) is considered the norm for MP3 files, MP3s can be encoded to bit rates from 8Kbps to 320 Kbps. The higher the bit rate, the better the sound and the larger the file. |
