A VideoCD disk may include video clips converted from MPEG files and still images converted from BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, TIFF or TGA files. The video clips must conform to the MPEG for VideoCD specification defined in the White Book.
VideoCD is a reproduction system to present full motion pictures with associated audio by using the compact disc format. The video and sound are compressed together using the MPEG 1 standard and recorded onto a CD Bridge disk.
A Video CD disk contains one data track recorded in CD-ROM XA Mode 2 Form 2. It is always the first track on the disk (Track 1). The ISO 9660 file structure and a CD-I application program are recorded in this track, as well as the Video CD Information Area which gives general information about the Video CD disk.
After the data track, video is written in one or more subsequent tracks within the same session. These tracks are also recorded in Mode 2 Form 2. The session is closed after all tracks have been written.
