Family Chronicle Magazine Exhibits Video CDs
Family Chronicle Magazine was showing some interesting technology in their booth. They were able to create family videos on standard CD-ROM disks. The input came from 8-millimeter home movies, VHS or BetaMax videotapes, or from any other source of video and/or audio. Anyone can create these video CDs on a standard CD-writer, using a combination of several programs. There are no DVD disks involved, only standard CD-ROM disks. What surprised me is that publisher Halvor Moorshead says that he can fit up to 70 minutes of high-quality video onto a standard CD-ROM disk. Moorshead hinted that a future article in Family Chronicle Magazine will tell how to create these home video CDs. Keep an eye on www.familychronicle.com.
