the difference between VCD and SVCD?

[Media]

What is the difference between VCD and SVCD? i know it stands for SuperVCD, but what does that mean?

SVCD - Higher resolution, better quality compression (Bigger filesize, as a consequence). More standalone DVD players can play VCDs than SVCDs...

thanks. does that mean you may need to put the file onto more CDs? because a VCD usaully needs 2 CDs, would an SVCD need 3 or 4?

Quite possibly...
