The White Book refers to a standard of

Laserdisc and the predecessor to DVD. Note that Video CD should not be confused with CD Video
which was an earlier and entirely different format.

Several extensions to the White Book were published in later years: VCD 2.0 in 1995, VCD-Internet in 1997, and Super Video CD (SVCD) in 1998.[1] The standard is not freely available and must be licensed from Philips.[2]

The White Book also defines the more general CD-i Bridge format (also called CD-Bridge or simply "bridge discs"), which are

Karaoke CDs.[4]

The following is a summary of the specifications for VCDs and SVCDs. For more details, see Video CD and Super Video CD.
