DVD, VCD or SVCD – Whats the difference, REALLY?
In a nutshell, VCD and S-VCD are formats that you can burn on a standard CD Writer, while DVD can only be done on a DVD-writer. Quality, as well as cost, of DVDs is much higher than VCD. SVCD’s quality can be similar to DVD, but you only get about 40 minutes on a disc. For a complete list of all the formats and the benefits of each, please click here.
