format,
one of
the worldwide standards of
digital compression
technology.

compressed
to
about 1/140 of its

up

compact
audio data.
Sounds outside the
range
of human
hearing
are
compressed
while the sounds we can hear are not
compressed.
VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the
audio information of conventional audio CDs.

play only moving pictures
and sounds.
