    I bought my first VCD at the store today. Popped it in the PC and played it. It looked pretty excellent in the default media player size, but once I switch it to full screen, it has that computerized pixelated look. Is this how its supposed to be or is my computer messed up? I got a PIII 600 PC.
    I read a lot of articles saying VCD's have better picture than VHS. well... not in fullscreen mode it doesnt. Can anyone clarify this?

    Well it depends on the VCD. Your system specs don't really matter much with MPEG-1, people with 486s can run VCDs. Make sure you have hardware acceleration on in Media Player, it will smooth out some of the pixelation. For the most part, in my opinion VCDs are either on par with VHS or below VHS in quality. Remember VCDs are like 352x240, that is not a high resolution. If you want quality, go for DVD!
