Exporting files for Video CD playback (Windows only)

Video CD (VCD) is a format that allows video to be played back on computers or players that support the Video CD standard. The advantage of Video CD is that it can be created using the proper software and a CD recorder; a DVD recorder isn’t required. On the other hand, VCD quality is comparable to VHS quality—much lower than DVD quality. You can create Video CD files using MPEG1-VCD presets in the Adobe Media Encoder. Then, you can write the MPEG1 files to a recordable CD using a program that can create a VCD. However, because DVD media, recorders, and players are widespread and affordable, the demand for the VCD format is not as great as it was initially.
