Review: CVD or SVCD 09/21/98 Xinhua news agency - ceis (copyright 1998) (1) Beijing (ceis) -- the disputes on the new standards of vcd which had been going on for nearly a year have wound up to a close as the government has given the final say. At the beginning of September, the standards known as SVCD were adopted at the china recording committee as the official standards for the upgrade of vcd. This means that china has its own copyright in the production of electronics. The disputes over standards were the result of inability of china to have its own VCD chips. It was learned that in 1997, C-Cube made over 270 million us dollars by providing VCD chips to china as all the decoders adopted by such VCD producers as Idall, Shinco and Malata all came from the united states. Other decoder providers included ESS of the United States, Sony of Japan and Philips of the Netherlands. The last that has got the certification would get the access to the Chinese market. The disputes started four months ago when Idall and Shinco released the CVD standards. But the Chinese government responded with a "nay" and a promise to work out official standards. In late June, the china recording committee started talks with Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips and reached a common understanding to name the new standards SVCD, with 2/3d1 as the coding format. The standards were submitted to the iec on June 30. On august 15, a meeting was held in Beijing to examine and finalize the "technical norms for the standards of SVCD system". At the meeting, Idall and Shinco strongly demanded to incorporate « D1 into the standards of the trade and the demand was turned down. In the final voting, Idall and Shinco voted "nay" and some other enterprises opted for abstention. But SVCD was finally adopted for getting the majority votes. (more)
