Getting VCD to play in DVD player

[Syllaphore]

Hi

followed the newbie instructions, burnt cd successfully -- but it doesn't play on DVD player. It's a Hitachi P315E (not listed on this site) and normal CDRs, silver.

Anyone know what I might try? Is there, perhaps a way of testing the VCD file on the computer?

thanks

Maybe your player doesn't support cdr's? Did you try a CD-RW?

Download I-VCD player it's free and it will autoplay your
vcd's:

hey thanks guys, but I didn't give enough details.

I'm converting a divX file to VCD format, as per the newbie instructions here, then trying to play it on the Hitachi standalone player. There is one listed on this site, which gets a very poor rating. Maybe I should try a different media? Any suggestions?

thanks for your help

Have you tried PrimePeripherals Cd-r's? Found at Circuit City ... i find them almost universal ... unfortunately i hear from the one of the Circuit city employees that they are discontinueing them.


p.s.
they are labeled
Digital Media ...PrimePeripherals is the parent copy i guess
