Vcd playing on dvd player

[XwolfbagX]

I figured how to make dvd's and i was excited but now i think i may have a dvd player that doesnt play vcd's. But on the player it says video cd/ dvd/ cd.
when i put a the burned cd in it doesnt find a disc.........can someone tell me if im doing something wrong or if its just my player...thanks

i used tmpeg to convert to mpeg1 and then used nero to make the vcd...help!!!

try playing your vcd on somebody elses standalone
if it works your player doesnt seem to support this format

It seems that your DVD can't read CD-R. That's all. Not all DVD player may read CD-R. When you buy DVD player, you should check if it can read CD-R, CD-RW. It's important if you want to play VCD burned by CD burner.

To make things even worse (unfortunately), even if your player DOES have the capability of playing VCDs, not all players recognize all brands of blank CDs. I've personally had great success using the Prime Peripherals and Art Media (now out of business) brands pf blank CDs.

A good player for the VCD's according to me is the Philips. It can handle with different kinds of bitrates in your movie. Easy when your movie is just to long to put it on two cd's.
