PAL 352 x 288/25Hz (or 24Hz film)1
Stills MPEG stills should use the same dimensions as motion video.2

Mono:No. ONLY these bitrates: 64 or 96 or 192kbit/sec632 to 448kbits/sec7

Streams :

Number of Streams allowed:One1-321-16
Stream Number Stream 0 . Streams 0 to 31, starting with Stream 0.Streams 0 to 15, starting with Stream 0.

1Dimensions up to 384 x 288 are supported, though not at full frame rate , but may not display properly on normal TV equipment. CD-i allows for dimensions below 352 x (240 or288), as long as both x and y are multiples of 16. Smaller images are automatically centered on the screen by the decoder card.

2MediaMogul does not support MPEG stills. However, any I-frame of a motion stream may be displayed as a still image. The maximum size of any one still picture(or frame) is the same as the VBV buffer size.

3 VCD MPEG1 fills the screen, but dimensions are distorted slightly. CD-i MPEG1 is not distorted, but doesn't fill the screen fully--at 352 pixels horizontally, there will be black vertical bands on both sides.

4Maximum video rate based on these assumptions:


5Maximum mux rate based on CD play. Depending on the decoder, playing MPEG1 from a hard drive might work up to 5.6448Mbit/sec.

6For VCDAV (Trackable MPEG), only224kbit sec is allowed. VCDAV also has these requirements:
71kbit=1000 bits
