VCD: Video CD. It's an MPEG-1 stream, at 352x288 and 25 fps (PAL), or 352x240 and 29.976 fps (NTSC). 
It has constat bitrate at 1150kbps and the audio is MPEG layer 2 at 224 kbps. 
You can fit as many minutes as the CD says (74 or 80).

SVCD: Super Video CD. It's an MPEG-2 stream, at 480x576 and 25 fps (PAL), or 480x480 and 29.976 fps (NTSC). 
The bitrate may be variable up to 2600kbps, and the audio can be between 32 and 384 kbps. 
Depending on the bitrate you choose you can fit more or less minutes,
but you can usually fit between 40 and 55 minutes per CD.


XVCD, CVCD..: These are modifications of the standard, with different bitrates, etc., and they could not work on all DVDs. But today's DVD players can play almost everything.

      For instance, CVCD is just a VCD with variable bitrate. This way, "easy" scenes take a lower bitrate
      so you have more space left and you can fit more minutes. You can fit this way more than 90 minutes in a CD.
