Well vcd 2.0 is just a updated version of 1.0 its the standard for vcds right now. so I think any remotely new vcd yu buy should be 2.0. pretty much all new vcd players should play 2.0 unless they really suck.(Napa-311 plays 2.0). 2.0 just allows more video to be stored on a single disc. so I think it is more compressed but im not sure

vcd 2.0 allows for pbc (playback control) I think that is the biggest difference.

make sure you use a bitrate of 1123 video, not 1150, or it'll skip a lot.

wildcatfan - what is pbc (playback control)?

[patrickm]

PBC is what allows for features like menu control and chapter points, instead of just playing through the MPEG tracks like an audio CD

[wildcatfan]

yeah what he said
