A group of images placed on a Video Compact Disc (VCD) and played in a manner similar to a slideshow. To create a PhotoVCD, the images need to be opened in a video editing program, where you can select the order the digital images will be displayed in, as well as optional effects such as music, transition effects (e.g. fade and dissolve), and also decides much time will elapse before the image changes to the next one. The group of images is output like a motion video as a VCD or SVCD.
