Professional VCD's

[Spug]

I've heard that professional VCD's, like the ones that contain feature films, will play in just about any DVD player that supports VCD--even the ones that (according to the comments on the DVD Player compatibility list) will play only VCD's burned onto a certain brand of CD-R or CD-RW.

Does anyone know how they do this? I mean, why these VCD's are more compatible the ones people burn themselves?

Very expensive hardware,the lasers and encoders they use are built with higher tolerances than on store-bought hardware and software.

Cause those are pressed CD's, they are not recorded media, it's special media done by professional laboratories which is why it's more compatible.

Thanks for the replies. But it leads me to ask another question:

Does that mean if I sent my VCD that I burned on a CD-R to a CD lab and had copies pressed, that the copies would be more compatible with DVD players than the original?

Most propably!
