Having trouble playing SVCD on my Sony DVD player.

[WSPhan]

I'm having trouble with my certain 4 disc bin/cue file i got. It won't play on my SONY DVD player. I burned it as a SVCD I believe. It says on the screen something like "13.00" - i think it had some letter before it too. Anyways - this DVD player has never had trouble playing regular VCD's in it. And I've played this certain 4 disc bin/cue successfully in my friends portable DVD player with no problems. So, I know that the burn was alright.

If anyone could tell me where I can go from here to make this work it would be greatly appreciated. If it means I have to convert it from Bin/Cue to just VCD I guess I'll do that - but I'd rather find a way to play it as a SVCD as I've heard the quality is much better.

Also, this is the first SVCD I've tried in this particular DVD player - so does that mean that no SVCD will work in this DVD player?

Thanks.

correct.. in general sony DVD players don't play SVCD.
(some models do.. very few though)

Windy,
When I convented my svcd to vcd, the pictures only displayed a part of the original pictrures of svcd on TV. Did you change your svcd's frame size? Or you also used 480x480 svcd templete in TMPGEnc? Thanks in advance!
