There are so many MKV to VCD converter programs, but which one should I turn to? Here's a suggestion: basic DVD/VCD burner programs that come pre-loaded on your PC can't recognize MKV.

Part 2. VCD vs. DVD

VCD stands for the Video Compact Disc, which contains digital video and audio files. The codec is always MPEG-1. The Video CD format was created in 1993, which is earlier than DVD format.

DVD refers to Digital Versatile Disc, which can hold high-quality MPEG-2 video and audio files. The storage capacity is 4.7 GB, which is larger than VCD's normal 650MB. And when it comes to video resolution, DVD is over 2 million pixels, whereas VCD is under 85,000 pixels.

For higher resolution and more storage space, fewer people using VCD nowadays. DVDs become the first choice to burn videos too. As you have seen, Wondershare UniConverter is easy to use and powerful at the same time. In fact, you could get a streaming device and load your videos onto a portable drive that can plug into the streaming player as an alternative, but why, when it is so simple to get Wondershare UniConverter converting your MKV files to DVD.
