VCD, or Video Compact Disc, was a popular format in the 1990s and early 2000s for distributing video content. It offered a video resolution of 352x288 pixels (PAL) or 352x240 pixels (NTSC), with a frame rate of 25 or 29.97 fps, respectively. The video quality was relatively low compared to today's standards, with a bitrate of around 1.5 Mbps. While VCDs were a good option back in the day, they can't hold a candle to the high-definition (HD) and 4K content we enjoy today.
