The short answer is yes. VCD/MPG-1 is half-resolution video, similar in quality to VHS video, better in some passages and worse in others, generally having to do with the amount of motion involved in the various scenes encoded. MPG-1 is a relatively old compression scheme, but remains popular in part because it's PC/MAC compatible, and generally plays on any computer. You get much better results with Windows Media Encoder 9, but higher odds that some viewer won't be able to see it, including the majority of DVD set top players for now.

Anyway, i was hoping someone could help me understand this. Is VCD really 352 x 240? Is that the standard size for it and I can't change it? Thanks ------------------------ Yahoo!
