What is VCD?

VCD stands for "Video Compact Disc". Basically, it's a CD that can hold 650 or 700mb of audio and video data. In short, this means it is similar to a DVD, in that it is digital and can contain video data. Even though a VCD's audio and video quality are not as good as a DVD, most people cannot tell the difference between a VHS and a VCD movie. Anyone else who does know the difference will say VCD is better than VHS. VCD can also be played on most console DVD players connected to your television.

What is DivX?

DivX is a codename for the MPEG-4 compression technology developed by DivXNetworks, Inc. (aka Project Mayo). DivX is similar to VCD in it's video quality, but almost anyone will tell you it's not as good. This is basically because of the difference in resolution. All televisions display on a 640x480 resolution. Computer monitors are typically set to 800x600 and 1024x768. DivX cannot be played on standalone console DVD players. This is one of the strongest points against it. Most people prefer the option of sitting on their couch and watching movies on their television, as opposed to their computer screen. DivX is ideal for those who travel, or prefer the direct availability of DivX movies over the internet
