For those of you don't know, the VCD format for which this is what I'm talking about, was somewhere between Laserdisc and DVD, never ever really caught on in North America except through like piracy. This was big over in Asia hence, well this thing exists at all because well this is like a Chinese thing, and in China VCDs were successful because it was so easily pirated. But in North America we held onto VHS, or people use Laserdiscs, and eventually DVD, and Blu-ray, and temporarily HD DVD and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and stuff. VCDs just never really had much of a lifespan but I believe they were around then in like 1992 for a little while but yeah. So here is my honest opinion about it. It's terrible, it's awful, it sucks. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody. In addition to VCDs it suggests can also play MP3s and as I recall you know, to be honest I don't even own a VCD nor do I have any like just spared CD-Rs with MP3s laying around okay it's November 2017 now okay at the time of what I'm talking about, this is incredibly useless now, because in terms of video quality it was comparable to a really low grade DVD kind of you know like illegal copies or so on and so forth but nowhere near as good as they are now cuz back in the day they weren't anywhere near as good at ripping them and it also worked similarly with the MP3 CDs, that part is actually debatably kind of usefull still, although with those SD cards, those would probably replace that, but then again, this is 2017 and I can't imagine you really need to be able to play MP3s and Video CDs anymore. That's just my opinion.

I know you guys know what VHS or DVD or Blu-ray is, but if you have any questions about what a Laserdisc or an HD DVD is, let me know and I'll tell what it is and I'll see you later.
