Time to revise the SVCD compatibility list!!!!

[kinneera]

There may be yet another way to trick DVD players into playing SVCDs, try doing the following steps exactly:

1. Encode an SVCD compliant MPEG2
2. Multiplex it using bbMPEG's SVCD setting
3. De-multiplex it using TMPGEnc
4. Multiplex it again using TMPGEnc's non-standard videoCD mode
5. Load it into VCDEasy/VCDImager and build it as a videoCD
6. Burn it, play it

My parent's 3-year old Sony that only reads CD-RWs and doesn't support SVCD was able to play the video perfectly when I authored the disc exactly that way!!!!

Actually it is not time to 'revise the compatability list.' You are not playing a compliant SVCD, you are playing a frankenstein version of what should be an SVCD and because this is not a standard not a damn thing is going to be changed.

However, you could post your little finding in the 'hacks' section because I am sure that other sony users would like to know what you have found.

Fair enough, just wanted to get people's attention since I would think they would want to try this. Still, everything about the video itself is still technically SVCD standard except that it has been burned into the VCD disc structure.
