The .VCD file extension is used to store data on a Virtual CD (VCD) image file. VCDs are used in AUTHO, WinISO, and PowerISO as a way to store data in a single file, while preserving the formatting and layout of a traditional CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. Such files can be opened and read by many programs, allowing for CD-ROM data to be easily copied, shared, or viewed without having physical media. [ ⏩ ] VCD file extension

How to convert the file from AVI to VCD?

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. AVI to VCD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting AVI files to VCD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension VCD, while before this step we had the AVI file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new VCD file, or not.
