Original, fully-licensed VCD release of the 1970 Shaw Brothers martial arts / action film, THE SECRET OF THE DIRK, which starred Ching Li, Chang Yu, Helen Ma, Shu Pei-Pei and Tien Feng. The film was directed by Hsu Tseng-Hung. This VCD is from the official Celestial / Hong Kong release of the film ... produced by IVL / Intercontinental Video Limited. VCDs are Video Compact Disc -- an alternate video format to DVD -- which is widely used in a number of Asian countries. The discs used are produced on CDs, rather than DVDs, so far less information can be held on a single disc. This results in two main differences between VCDs and DVDs. First, VCDs are usually issued in two discs per film, rather than a single disc for a DVD. Second, since CDs hold far less info than DVDs, the video quality for VCDs is noticeably lower than for DVDs.
