video CDs
Optical film format
Video CDs, usually abbreviated VCD, are compact discs that store video in a format similar to DVDs but with lower resolution and storage capacity.
Popular in Asia during the 1990s as an affordable alternative to VHS tapes, they never gained traction in Western markets where DVDs quickly dominated.
A standard VCD holds about 74 minutes of video: We watched pirated VCDs before DVD players became cheap.
