VCD/SVCD Playback problem (on DVD player)

[armaha]

I know you guys had a lot stupid question like this. I have Sanyo HV-DX2E dvd player, and I can't play my VCDs on it. The manual says that VCD are playable (ISO ..., don't remember) I used these settings in Nero 6. No luck. All i get is a message: "Please insert CD or DVD disk in the tray", something like that. I tried to look everywhere to find out about my dvd player. May be you guys can help me, plz!

"The manual says that VCD are playable"

This is a reference to COMMERCIAL (pressed) VCDs - and does NOT assure that it will play burned VCDs.

Additionally, even if it IS capable of playing burned VCDs, it may very well be "finicky" about which brand(s) of media it's willing to recognize.

The greatest possibility of obtaining playback on such systems appear to result from burning your VCD to a CD-R/W...

So you're saying, I better try burn on CD-RW? Ok, I'll try, but the thing is that Nero for some reasons doesn't burn CD-RWs. May be there is something wrong. But I'll try anyway, thanx!

"the thing is that Nero for some reasons doesn't burn CD-RWs."

It certainly does burn CD-R/Ws for me...

[armaha]

Yeah, I guess there is something wrong with my nero then.

Try upgrading to the LATEST version.

If you want to make sure your DVD player plays CD-R fine, just burn an audio CD and try it out in your DVD player. That should take care of the CD-R problem. Now if that works, it means your DVD player can read your brand of CD-R, and so you are having a problem burning your VCD.

The fact that a standalone DVD player can playback a burned AUDIO CD-R in no way assures that it will playback a burned VCD...

I didn't know that, can you tell the reason? Anyways, it still works the other way: if it doesn't play the Audio CD-R, it probably means it will not play anything out of a CD-R.
