Why convert VCDs to DVDs?
Authored by: sfgecko on Feb 17, '06 11:55:11AM

Why anyone would want to convert a VCD to burn onto a DVD is beyond me. A VCD is low quality 352x240 1150kbps video compared to DVD's 720x480 6-10Mbps. Most DVD players can read VCD discs, so what's the point? Garbage in is garbage out.

a. Backup - I have a large number of vcds that are fairly old and not very good quality. Some of the discs have the surface lifting. Value-for-money dictated 6 VCDs onto 1 DVD
b. Saves swapping VCDs - I am lazy..

Yes. Garbage in garbage out is quite true. If you have a bunch of old vcd's
from back in the day. (I was making vcds before dvd burners were practical, cheap , or heard of) You could take a bunch of vcd footage off your cds and compile it all on one dvd. In theory it should work.
