What is it ?

Whats the difference between a DVD and a VCD ?

Will a VCD play on my Wharefedale 750S ?

VCD is short for Video CD, a format very popular over in Asia, and a much cheaper alternative to DVD. DVD is a trillion times better than VCD in terms of picture quality, and especially audio quality (only plain vanilla stereo on VCD)

For the full monty look in the left hand frame of this page under `Info` and go to the excellent uk.media.dvd FAQ - everything you need to know and more !

I think the Wharfey will play it back - I answered a question yesterday from someone else with a Wharfey who was playing back a VCD
