VCD = video CD. Unknown and unloved format, easy to write with CD-writers, most DVD players will play 'em too. Standard CD, so 650MB.
DVD = digital versative disc. you know the score on this one.

VCD stands for 'Video Compact Disc' and basically it is a CD that contains moving pictures and sound. If you're familiar with regular audio/music CDs, then you will know what a VCD looks like. A VCD has the capacity to hold up to 74/80 minutes on 650MB/700MB CDs respectively of full-motion video along with quality stereo sound. VCDs use a compression standard called MPEG to store the video and audio. A VCD can be played on almost all standalone DVD Players and of course on all computers with a DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive with the help of a software based decoder / player. It is also possible to use menus and chapters, similiar to DVDs, on a VCD and also simple photo album/slide shows with background audio. The quality of a VCD is about the same as VHS tape based movies.
PS2's will not play VCD's as standard . . . .

There is no Way you can play a VCD on a PS2 
there is software which converts VCD's so the files can be played on a PS2, but it is very time consuming, and difficult to use. Have to wait for a external player I think.
