Some DVD players simply don’t support these types of discs. Others may play VCDs or SVCDs only if the discs were authored with certain settings, which the VCD/SVCD/DVD creation software may point out. The same goes for DVD playback software, although the developer may provide a patch or plug-in to enable this functionality.
First, consult the DVD player’s documentation for VCD/SVCD support. If your DVD player allows firmware updates, as some DVD recorders do, try updating it. Update your DVD playback software if applicable.
Also, you may find that different burning software, even from the same developer, may make discs compatible with your player. For an Apex DVD player, as an example, we were able to create working SVCDs with NeroVision Express, but not with Nero Express. Both titles come in the Nero 6 and 7 Ultra Edition suites.
Try burning the disc at a slower speed. Also, certain brands of CD-R may work better than others for this application. Roxio says that some players cannot read recordable media at all. Other sources say that CD-RWs might work better in some players.
Read up on your disc authoring software’s settings for VCDs and SVCDs in its help file, settings menus, or support section of the developer’s Web site. Try different settings related to compatibility. If all else fails, try the ones that will make “non-standard” discs.
Yes of course.!
Cheers!
