VCD 3.0

[henno2000]

Does anybody know of any software that is able to write as VCD 3.0?

If so what should I use and is it better than SVCD?

Thanks.

If I remember correct, VCD 3 was a temporary name of Chaoji Video CD.

So, if I remember correct, it is not actually a n disc format, but a compatibility specification for players. A Chaoji VCD player must be able to play back at least SVCD, CVD, VCD 2.0, VCD 1.1 and CD-DA discs.

Thanks.

At least that gives a me a little help. (Better than the other guy who seems to like posting sarcastic replies just increase his number of posts....)

Which means I'll probably get another one by the end of today.

If anyone else has any other answers please inform me.

It's hard to say for sure but while they where developing the successor to VCD, quite a few names and pseudo-standards were bandied around (and impatient hardware manufacturers make machines that supported them). I think SatStorm might be right...
