A Video Compact Disc (VCD) is a storage medium that was popular in the 1990s for distributing movies and video content. It uses a standard compact disc format to store video data, allowing users to watch films on compatible players. VCDs typically offer lower video quality compared to later formats like DVD but were widely used due to their affordability and ease of use. VCDs can hold about 74 to 80 minutes of video, similar to a standard audio CD. They often include features like multiple language tracks and subtitles. While VCDs have largely been replaced by DVDs and Blu-ray discs, they played a significant role in the evolution of home video entertainment.
