Video CD Options

The options for a Video CD can be slightly arcane thanks to the older nature
of the format. It still follows the general standard for creating video on a
disc, however.

Video CD Type allows you to determine what kind of Video CD you are
going to make. You have a selection of options:
• VCD creates your standard Video CD, with low resolution video.

• CVD is a Video CD standard used in China. This may not work on
all CD or DVD players.

• SVCD is the Super Video CD, common in America. This will give
you slightly higher video resolution.

• XVCD is a non-standard Video CD format that may work on PCs,
but won’t work on most DVD players.

• XSVCD is a Super Video CD version of the non-standard above,
which has the same drawbacks.

TV System for a video CD is the same as you will find on the other disc
formats. NTSC is used in America, PAL in select other countries.
Audio Type is just like the audio format option found when creating DVDs.
You should not need to change this value unless you have an audio
problem with your video CD.

Video CD Output Options gives you access to the same anti-flicker and
desaturation, and Video Clip Quality options found in both DVD and Blu-ray
discs.

In addition to those options, you can also toggle whether your video CD
menu will be still, or will use video thumbnails.

Video / Still Shows is a set of options unique to the video CD. This is where
you determine whether you are using shows that are using video, or are just
a sequence of still images.
