Why is VCD gaining popularity in America, Europe and Australia?
VCDs are very popular in Asia and is gaining popularity in America, Europe or Australia. Nowadays, VCDs have practically replaced video cassettes in Asia. The main reason is because VCD is cheap compared to DVDs (that is why it is nicknamed “poor man’s DVD”) and the quality is even better than VHS. It can also last much longer than VHS and has no drop in sound/picture quality when stored for a long time. It is much smaller in size, easier to store, that is why it is ideal for movie collectors! One good aspect is that it can be played on DVD, LD players, a computer and many other devices.
