Super Video CD (SVCD)
The Super Video CD (SVCD) is a technological advancement of the video
CD. SVCDs are also like VCD-specified CD-ROMs which can be played
using either a Super Video CD player (connected to the television), or
directly with the CD-ROM drive of a computer. Many DVD players can also
play SVCDs. MPEG-2 and the increase of the data transfer rate makes it
hard to tell videos from videos in DVD quality apart.
Resolution: SVCDs use the better MPEG-2 encoder in a standardized
resolution of 480 x 576 (PAL). The MPEG-2 format offers a maximum
resolution of up to 720 x 576 points and improved compression methods
characterized by excellent image definition and homogenity.
Hard disk capacity: An average 90-minute movie must be spread across 3
CDs. On one SVCD you can get about 30 minutes of good-quality movie.
Encoder setting: Compared to the VCD with 1.3, the data transfer rate is
doubled to 2.6 Mbit/s.
MPEG-2 format introduces the so-called variable bit rate (VBR). In contrast
to the constant bit rate (CBR) of the MPEG-1 encoders, this encoder has
the option of using more bits for movement-intensive sections, as well as
saving bits if picture content remains the same.

Top-level domain
Top-level domains (TLD) are always those separated by a dot at the end of
an Internet address (for example, "http://www.magix.com" < here, .com is
the top-level domain). Among these are also country top-level domains,
