My VCDs won't play on my Sony DVD Player

[Yogi_Bear_79]

I downloaded some TV shows in (DivX).avi format. I used TMPGEnc ver. Beta 12e to convert them. I then used Roxio EZ CD Creator 5 Platnium to burn them. I followed these instructions to convert:

And these instructions to Burn:

Everything seemed to go smooth, but when I tried to use it on my Sony DVP-S360DVD player, it says no disc. Yes it does accept VCDs. This is my first attempt at this. No I've never played other VCDs on my DVD palyer. No I havn't had the opportunity to try to play these discs on another DVD player.

Below is the Menu structure created n the VCD:

\CDDA
\CDI
\KARAOKE
\MPEGAV
\MPEGAV\MUSIC01.DAT 226,638Kb
\SEGMENT
\VCD
\VCD\ENTRIES.VCD 2Kb
\VCD\INFO.VCD 2Kb
\VCD\LOT.VCD 64Kb
\VCD\PSD.VCD 1Kb

I don't even see your player on the list of dvds but if I did see it I think it said you need Black layer disks or Blue layer disks.

Sounds like your player doesn't read CD-Rs (mine doesn't). Try a CD-RW, which work on many players that don't recognize CD-Rs.

Well after some more reading I did try CR-RW's it worked! But I read the compatiablity list for my player, seems different people have differant results. I need to just find the media that works for me..

I have this same player, use CD-RW or try Gigastorage brand disks (available at Futureshop if you are in Canada for 9.99 plus taxes for a ten pack) They work fine on that player as well (ONLY brand of CD-R's I have found that work, there are some other suggestions on the player guide on this site for disks that are supposed to work as well)

I had the same problem, and my exact same model player played my CD-RW media . Now if I could just figure out how to get my menus I created under Roxio CD Creator 5 Platinum to show up....

I also have a sony DVD player and I have found it to be very picky on what cdr's it will play. The brand I have not had any problems with is Princo. You can get 200 of them pretty cheap at Office Max sold under the name of Prime Perferiale for $45.
