Look at http://www.eurekamovies.com/vcd_article.cfm :
| The second way is if you have a DVD player. Most DVD players will be able

| VCD players. 

Ie, Video-CD is digital!

|       Other than a burner and a VCD mastering software, you need only one
|       toll and some hd space. 
| 
|       The tool you need is VCDGEAR.EXE, a simple Command-line program
|       that recreate the MPEG file from the DAT ones presents in the VCDs
|       you have. Extract only the tracks you want from the /MPEGAV
|       directory and then burn it with a VCD mastering software (VCDC,
|       WinOnCD, Nero...).

Hmm, Video CD is digital???

But I was also wrong with number 5:
according to:

| CD Video or VCD??
| 
| greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread 
| 
| 
|       I have a CD-Video single which has 3 audio tracks and a PAL TV CDV
|       track. When I put the disc in my iMac DV and open the folder for the
disc it
|       comes up on the desktop as "Audio CD1" . I can see the 3 audio tracks
but
|       nothing for track 4; no folder for video or an MPEG file, nothing. 
| 
|       I tried SImpleVCD 2.2, but that doesn't seem to recognise the disc. I
have
|       Quicktime 4, Apple DVD player and iMovie and none of them seem to
|       recognise the disc or a video file. I'm going to take the disc to work
and try
|       it on my PC to see what Windoze makes of it! 
| 
|       I'm not going to be into collecting VCDs, but I'd like to play the video
on
|       this disc. 
| 
|       From looking at the VCD Player site it seems that CD-Video and VCD are
|       different standards? Is this correct and how do I play the video file on
an iM

|       CD Video is a different format from Video CD.

|       if i am correct, cd video can be read by a laserdisc player. cd video
was
|       made for that format

| 
|       There is little else to be done aside from putting that disc into a
laserdisc
|       player and capturing the video right off to your PC and authoring a VCD
|       with it. Unlike DVD and VCD, the video on CDVs is analogue.

|                                              

Thus.... CDV is analogue and VCD is digital.....
