white book

n. official government report in Britain

This article is about a CD standard. For the type of governmental or corporate reports, see white paper. The White Book, which was released in 1987 by Sony, Philips, Matsushita, and JVC  refers to a standard of compact disc that stores not only sound but also still pictures and motion video. These discs, most commonly found in Asia, are usually called "Video CDs" or "VCDs." In some ways, VCD can be thought of as the predecessor to SVCD and DVD. There was a brief flirtation with Video CDs in the US and Europe, but they were abandoned once CD writers appeared as they were easy to copy (something publishers did not want). The DVD format with its larger capacity, rendered it obsolete in any event.
