Help needed please

Dont know where to start.
I have a dvd player (samsung sv-dvd 3e) and it plays vcds fine.But im having trouble playing svcd'd.When i try the picture is eratic,the sound goes out of sink and sometimes it stops and starts.So i thought ill convert my svcd's to vcd's.I have tried the header trick and the standard and non standard vcd's wont play.So i thought id try converting the files from svcd to vcd but i cant get tmpgenc to open them (unsupported format).
I suppose i should have mentioned that the files started as bins but i have extracted the mpeg2.So im assuming that the extracted mpeg2 now should be now converted to an mpeg1 or vcd but im not sure how to as tmpgenc wont open.Am i right so far or am i way of the mark?.Please help ive used about 15 disks so far.

i asume you can play the svcd on your pc ?
if you can't try installing some svcd codecs
i use free codecs(i think)
also do you have the svcd plugin for tmpgenc

Thanks for the reply.Yes i can play the svcd's on the pc.Im assuming that because i cant open the svcd on tmpgnc that no i havent got the plugin.Im going to search now for it but a link would be great.
When i get the plugin what will it allow me to do with the movie?.Sorry but this is the newbie section.

warning the plugin can be a payment from the homesite but if you look.....

hopefully it will let svcd's to be encoded

I have managed to get the plugin and extracted it to the tmpgenc folder.Butnow what should happen?.Ive tried opening the svcd file and it still says unsupported.Is this something to do with it being a bin file originally,i have extracted the mpeg2 frames though with isobusters,or have i got to do something else with tmpgenc?.
