=== VCD ===
{{main|Video CD}}
The [[Video CD]] (VCD) was created in 1993, becoming an alternative medium for video, in a CD-sized disc. Though occasionally showing [[compression artifact]]s and [[color banding]] that are common discrepancies in digital media, the durability and longevity of a VCD depends on the production quality of the disc, and its handling. The data stored digitally on a VCD theoretically does not degrade (in the analog sense like tape). In the disc player, there is no physical contact made with either the data or label sides. When handled properly, a VCD will last a long time.

Since a VCD can hold only 74 minutes of video, a movie exceeding that mark has to be divided into two or more discs.
