Todays #RetroTech for #VideoVVednesday

For a while, between #LaserDisc & DVD, there was a huge wave of #VCD #VideoCD stuff in Asia. Some of it made it to Europe
Lot of it knock off - not all of it

Playable in CDi, PCs, Commodore CD-TV, 3D0, PS One - with Memory Stick bodge, & a few other devices

They were MPEG 1, low bite rate & blocky. But hey, it’s what we had. Conforming to White Book Standard

They were cheap too

Video CD remained huge in Asia for years, especially in the Karaoke Market

It's Video VVednesday
