Can VCDs have same features as DVD?

[eduardo]

I know they can't but most of the features can be added
like:
. Menus "without animations and with"
. May be the can use same resolution
. Intro animation
. MPEG 1 or 2

Now I'm new to DVD since some days I have 4 DVDs "movies"
I don't have a DVD rom or DVD burner but I will like to know if I can make a VCD or SVCD with nearly all features or some like:

.different camera angles "I don't have and I don't know what dvds have this feature and like to know if is possible to do in VCD or SVCD and how I need to see some demos on this"

Well what other features does DVDs have "not for computers".?

If your going to get aggressive please don't censor... it just looks silly

Anyway short answer no... long answer no...

Multiple camera angles is a dvd thing as seen on Episode 1 (the scrolling text is in several different languages, depending on your choice). VCD and SVCD can't do this.

Mulitple audio languages can be done with both, though most VCD players can't handle switching between the two on VCD (it plays both together). Subtitles can be done in SVCD, but not VCD. The res should be left lower than DVD or you'll get poor quality (or very short movies). VCD=MPEG1, SVCD=MPEG2. Clickable hotspots can't be done with either...

I think that's most of your questions.

Yes, you can have both still and animated menus.

The animated menus (and indeed, anything that is video) on a VCD must have a resolution of 352x240/288 for VCD or 480x480/576 for SVCD. High resolution images on a S/VCD have a resolution of 704x480/576.

Yes.

VCD = MPEG-1 only, SVCD = MPEG-2 only.

No.

When you think about it, MPEG2 does support multiple camera angles; it's just I don't known of any (freeware) software that allows home users to mux/make MPEGs w/ them.

But as Vitualis wrote you can make motion/still menus, and intro/exit clips w/ TSCV. D/load the newest verison from http://www.ttool.org (0.83 IIRC). And there's a very good guide to the program at:

[vitualis]

Irregardless of what MPEG-2 supports, SVCD does not support multiple camera angles or seamless branching (which can be done on a DVD).

irregardless
SYLLABICATION: ir·re·gard·less
ADVERB: Nonstandard Regardless.
ETYMOLOGY: Probably blend of irrespective and regardless.
USAGE NOTE:
Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in
formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual
writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a
blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and
regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir– prefix
and –less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it
is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it
has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

Perhaps your original intension was to type the phrase "a lot"?

[tinycorkscrew]

As if the American Heritage dictionary were of any kind of authority.

Everybody knows that the Oxford English Dictionary is the academic standard.

Look up "Compunctiousness" for me- there's a good chap...

Illiteracy across the pond, it is good to see our nations united!
Quibble, quibble, my dictionary is better than yours!
American Heritage Dictionary or Oxford English Dictionary, don't we both speak English?
Oh, wait, in Britain, don't you people smoke fags?
You Old English "Chaps" should still be thanking America for saving your small imperial nation from a new vernacular,
GERMAN!
