I am talking about the cost of manufacturing, not the selling price.
The cost of pressing a silver VCD with or without data is around USD 0.5,
while a blank CD-R is around USD 0.75.  For CD-R, you will need to burn
data to the disk with extra cost.

Maybe the CD-R you get is made in Singapore, and those silver VCD is
imported, hence the price difference.

My question still stand.  LD is popular only 2 years before VCD ?
In Hong Kong, LD is around 7 years before VCD.
