- yourusername 8mo agoThat's Video CD. It existed before DVD but survived alongside it (mainly in Asia) as a cheaper alternative.
- a-dub 8mo agono, apparently there was both. i was familiar with video cd which was mpeg-1 on a cd-rom (with some weird partitioning scheme). cd video is apparently a very obscure hybrid format with an analog video section and a digital audio section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_Video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_Video
- VerifiedReports 7mo agoNo; it was analog LaserDisc video. I think "Video CD" was a flavor of CD-I, which was very popular in China and was used way, way beyond the introduction of DVD. Well into the 2000s, I think.
