Playing long VCD-s with Dxr2 - possible?

[mirekc]

Is it possible to play very long VCD-s (over 80 min.) using Creative's Dxr2 card on Windows computer?
When I'm trying this using newest version of Creative's dedicated player, it stops playing after 80 mins (the screen is black, no sound is played, but the player's clock still works until the end of CD).
Is it a "feature" of Creative's player, or its's something wrog with my installation (or CD)?
Are there any other players for Windows supporting Dxr2 card? I've heard about some, but only for Linux.

I assume the VCD is burned onto a 90 or 99 minute CD-R.

1) Have you successfully played this VCD, all the way to the end, on a standalone DVD player/television setup? If not, it's probably a bad burn (despite the fact that burning software MAY have indicated a successful burn)

2) Your PC's CDROM may not be capable of handling an extended time CD-R

Yes, it's that case.

A standalone DVD player which is available to me can't play 99 minute CD-R, so i could't test it.

But I can play this CD to the end using software player, even on my PC (for testing only, because I have to slow processor to play video smoothly).
Then I burned another CD with the same content, but divided ito two tracks (which means: the same content, but different CD), and another CD with different content. In all cases Creative's player stops playing exactly at the same time: after 80 minutes.
Something wrong with CD's header? But what? All CDs where burned by Nero.

I don't think so. I can play all the CD with software player and I can copy all of it's content to hard drive.

"I can play all the CD with software player"

Then why would you ask:

"or its's something wrong with my installation (or CD)?"

Your newly stated ability to play the entire CD on your PC clearly indicates that there's no problem with the CD...

I'm asking about playing through Creative's Dxr2 MPEG card. I want to play my CDs using this rather then "real" software player because of slow processor and TV output on Dxr2.
I thing the problem is with Creative's software dedicated to the card, rather then with the card itself or with the CD, but I may be wrong.
Sorry about my English which may cause misunderstandings, but it's not my native language.
