        Oops - I think you're confusing "VCD" with "VHS".

        If you're in a 625line (usually "PAL") video country then VHS has
        576 active (vertical) lines in 2 fields just like TV and DVDs. 

        VHS does lack resolution though since it effectively only has 200  or
        so horizontal lines.

        VCDs are not interlaced because they only use 1 of the 2 fields.

        Cheers,
        Steven Schultz
