All About SVCD on Mac

What is an SVCD?
|
|
Like a VCD, a Super Video CD (SVCD) is a video format that uses ordinary recordable CD media to store movies instead of using a DVD or a VHS tape. SVCDs use the MPEG-2 file format which delivers higher quality playback than MPEG-1. You get about 30 minutes of video on a CD, with better than VHS tape quality of playback and better than VCD quality playback.
SVCDs can be played in almost anything, including:
- both Windows and Macintosh computers, with SVCD Player software
- a component VCD player
- a component DVD player
- many video game machines (consult your owner's manual)
SVCDs are fairly platform-independent and can easily played by most people with their existing hardware.

When looking for a player, find one that supports automatic file chaining. SVCD content is frequently stored on a number of smaller files. If your player doesn't automatically find, load and play them for you in sequence, you'll have to find each file yourself and press play - very annoying, especially in the middle of an exciting action sequence.
