=== Distributed and recordable media === MPEG-1 Audio Layer II is the standard audio format used in the [[Video CD]] and [[Super Video CD]] formats (VCD and SVCD also support variable bit rate and [[MPEG Multichannel]] as added by MPEG-2). All [[DVD-Video]] players in [[PAL]] countries contain stereo MP2 decoders, making MP2 a possible competitor to [[Dolby Digital|Dolby Digital (AC3)]] in these markets. DVD-Video players in [[NTSC]] countries are not required to decode MP2 audio, although most do. While some [[DVD recorder]]s store audio in MP2 and many consumer-authored DVDs use the format, commercial DVDs with MP2 soundtracks are rare. MPEG-1 Audio Layer II is also the audio format used in [[HDV]] camcorders.
