CD & VCD |
| CDs were first introduced jointly by
Philips and Sony for digital audio in 1983. The format
was later adapted for text, photos, multimedia and
digital video. In just one generation, media to store music and movies have progressed from eight-track cartridges and video tapes to CDs and VCDs. While the price of MP3 players remain prohibitive (at least here in Malaysia), CDs and CD players will remain the mainstay of a teenager's music repertoire. As a bootlegged spin-off, VCDs at hawker stalls and pasar malams offer a cheap though often unsatisfactory, substitute to movie theatres. Not to mention that VCDs are the only way you can lay your hands on banned movies like The Prince of Egypt and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. For crisp digital quality audio and video, aficionados prefer the DVD (digital versatile disk) which rivals those found at the movies |
