Super Video CD
The Super Video CD (SVCD) standard upgrades the Video-CD (VCD) format. It allows better video and audio quality, including extensions for surround sound, multi-channel audio and provisioning for PC playback. It's based on variable bit rate (VBR) MPEG-2 coding for more efficient use of optical disc capacity.
1. Super-VCD standard
The Super Video-CD is based on the CD-ROM XA disc format. All tracks are data tracks, the first track is a special DATA track with data retrieval information and interactive playback MPEG sequences. The MPEG-2 streams are recorded in the following tracks and are intended to be played sequentially starting from track #2. A movie could have different coded parts: INTRO, COPYRIGHT, FILM, CREDITS; each stored on a separate track. The film itself can be stored on one track with the possibility to be subdivided into chapters within the one track. The layout will be handle by an SVCD Authoring software like I-Author.
