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
