SVCD to DVD..how will dvd player read this?

[rqtball]

My dvd player recognizes PAL SVCD but for some reason wont play PAL DVD.

If I convert my video to PAL SVCD then use the guides to burn to a DVD-R....will the player read the video as SVCD or now as DVD?

Thanks
Scott

Your SVCD MPEG-2 files will be authored as (non-compliant) DVD VOB files, so your DVD player will recognize the file structure as DVD, not as SVCD.

I don't know if there's a way to keep the SVCD file structure on a DVD, but I don't think many DVD players would play such a disc anyway.

No there isn't.

@erratic, if your DVD player will play PAL SVCD's, I very much doubt it won't play PAL DVD's, there may well be some other issue here. Give us more details as to the process you follow to create these disks and where it goes wrong so we can help.

Just to clear things up, that should be @rqtball of course.

why do you convert svcd to dvd? to fit multiple svcd's on 1 dvd?
there's no need to convert. it costs lotta time, and the quality isn't gonna get better.
you can put your svcd files on dvd with not so much effort. see the manuals on this site.
