Especially since from what I understand, VCDs are pirate material anyway.
- interestica 6y agoLots of VCDs were legitimate releases from the production studios - certain markets made VHS, dvd, BluRay untenable.
- LeoPanthera 6y agoSomewhere in storage I have a perfectly legitimate VCD release of one of the original Star Trek movies. It's split across two discs! The comparison with Laserdisc always amused me. Laserdiscs usually have to be turned over half way through, VCDs only play on one side, so you have to swap it out for a completely separate disc in the middle of the movie.
- res0nat0r 6y agoI think for lots of western content ~10-15 years ago this was the case. Sites like vcdquality.com were around to track pirated Oscar screener rips, and folks would rip those to VCD format since back then bandwidth was more scarce and you could watch these moves on normal ~700MB CD-ROMs.
