What is VCD software?
Video Compact Discs (VCDS) are compact disks (CD) similar to sound CDs, except that they have recorded video or files, not just sound. VCD software usually refers to any type of computer program that can be used to read, convert or burn data to CD to create or read from VCD. This software can be quite simple and can be available as freeware or more complicated professional software. VCD software is usually used by home computer users because digital versatile Discs (DVDs) have become more popular and replaced the VCD for most professional uses.
At the end of the 90s, the VCD has become quite popular because they allowed people to record about an hour of video and sound on a CD for a CD for playing a computer or DVD. Once the DVD became more popular and the technologies needed to create DVDs became cheaper, the DVD quickly replaced the VCD in popularity for most users. However, VCD software still remains forSo many people still prefer VCDS, given that the media itself is cheaper than DVD. These programs are usually designed to allow a person to play video from the VCD and convert this video to another format or burn a video on the VCD.
One of the most common VCD software types is the program that allows you to use the computer to play video on VCD via your computer. While most computer operating systems (OS) have a built -in media player, these players may not always be able to recognize codecs used by VCD videos. Users with a media player who cannot recognize these codecs, will not be able to display video or accompany the sound on the VCD. VCD software will usually be a different media player program that can recognize the codecs used to record a VCD or complement the established player to recognize them.
some VCD software is designed to allow the user toPull the video and an audio off of VCD, referred to as "tear", then convert this video to another type of file. This can be done to remove the video from an older VCD and prepare it for burning on DVD or simply save video on local media. VCD software can also allow the user to burn video and sound on VCD. Many programs will allow all these features to display the video on the VCD, tear the video from the disk, and also burn the video on the VCD or DVD.
