VCD

A VCD can be seen as the video version of an audio CD. VCDs allow one to add different subtitle tracks, audio tracks, video files and menus to a single CD, but one would need a burning program capable of creating a VCD to do so. A VCD can hold upto 80 minutes of video on a single CD.

Pros:

Widely compatible
Can be burnt to a regular CD
Holds more Video than a SVCD

Cons:

Worse quality that SVCD
Only holds 80 minutes of video.
