I use Power DVD Version4 which plays DVD, VCD, SVCD with no problems but one:

On some VCDs but always towards the END of a VCD, it freezes and spins and spins and there is nothing I can do about it but shut the PC power.
I have noticed this both on original VCDs and on VCDs or SVCDs I create from footage taken with my digital camera and processed with Ulead which also burns it on CD. The problem seems always to happen towards or right at the END of the VCD.
It did the same in Windows Media Player.
It happened with dat files 50Mb to 600Mb, but 700MB play OK, so it's not the file size.
Bad CD media ?
Bad burning ?
What do you think ?
