I enjoy the #VideoCD format not because I owned a lot of them (I had one I got on discount in the 90s from some big box store). It's because the 2-disc system reminds me of rented #laserdisc players and flipping over and/or changing laserdiscs
On my quest of ripping video cds i came across a exelent specimen, Alein: Resurection. Not only is it rather high quality, it also manages 16x playback where other video cds could barely even do 1x. It can stream in media so fast that vlc strungles to keep up. Really interesting how not all video cds are made the same.
I fucking hate video cds. They are so ass. Not only is digital 240p ass, it also can barely keep up with the data. Also they are supposed to have no copy protection but they are so ass that if you try to copy them you get i/o errors and it will make explorer shit itself. You'd think VLC is string engouth to handle them but no, vlc crashed multiple times while accessing them. Also most of the video cds I have are from Hong Kong around 2000 and are apparently decaying.
@avavsystems i had the star wars trilogy - special edition on #videoCD A shop in Copenhagen had imported it from Malaysia i think. The box and the covers was very nice but the picture quality was like VHS ... sort of and the sound quality was probably worse. And it was pan & scan. #Vcd #honecinema #movies #starwars
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
Hoy he conseguido ni más ni menos que un reproductor de Video CD 💿 , el formato digital antecesor al DVD 📀. Yo tengo en casa una colección bastante grande de películas en dicho formato, varios CD-i de Philips y Grundig, y el cartucho Video CD para Sega Saturn, además de dos DVDs que leen el formato. Está preparado para Karaoke.
Nunca pensé que iba a encontrar un reproductor propio 😃. La marca es Deltamac, que he conseguido saber que trabaja (o trabajaba) en Taiwan.
BEHOLD, my EXTENSIVE #VideoCD collection, just discovered hidden in my (real-extensive) Audio CD collection! Kind of like the "HD-DVD of the 90ies"... I even bought a #SegaSaturn MPEG cart to watch these 😅
Diesen kuriosen #RetroFilmTipp habe ich in den 90ern von meinem Nachbarn auf #VideoCD ausgeliehen bekommen - jetzt gibt es den Kultfilm endlich auf #4KUltraHD #UHD @turbinemedien

Sega Saturn tiene una entrada para conectarle una tarjeta de Video CD (un formato anterior al DVD) que no triunfó apenas...
Con esta tarjeta conectada, la videoconola podía reproducir Video CD, además de mejorar la calidad de vídeo de algunos videojuegos configurados para ello.
Sin esta tarjeta, al menos puede reproducir CD Audio.
