VCD s (video-CD) andSVCD s (super video-CDs).The VCDImager project is released as
open source and was primarily written by Herbert Valerio Riedel.It represents the only open source set of tools for authoring VCDs and it is the back end to several popular (S)VCD authoring tools including "VCDEasy".
The main development of the program was with the version 0.7.x branch that included the ability to author menus and other
playback control (PBC) structures. Development of this program occurred mainly between 2000 and 2002.
