Is it Ok to burn and play VCD and SVCD on same CD?

[SlapHappy]

I've just captured 5 different 10 minute test videos with my DVC II as a way to see the difference between VCD and SVCD with differing Bitrates, etc.

Can I burn them all one after the other (in those different modes) onto the same CD to watch in my APEX AD-1100W(which I understand plays just about everything), without hurting my DVD player?

Is that Ok to do? Or is it bad for my player to do that?

Sorry for such a stupid question, but I'm concerned that it would Not be good for my brand new player.

Could I get everyone's views on this before I do it?

Thanks.

No this cant be done. the whole disks has to be structured as either VCD or SVCD. No hybrid mode can be done.

If you want to, if your DVD Player plays regular Data Disks I kno that you can put the MPEG files on a data disk and you can watch it like that. The pause and rwd/ffwd features will be gone, but it will all fit on one cd. But your DVD player may not play data disks so I guess its a gamble.

i have the older model apex (hiteker) 700 and you can just create a 'data' disk as mentioned above. it comes up like the mp3 menu and yes Apex/Hiteker play (almost) everything partly because the DVD player is a pc dvd and they have the appropiate chips inside to decode. One reason why i bought this brand.
What you are doing is exactly what i did already.

Ok then, how about all a bunch of different treatments of SVCD?
(different bitrates and TMPGenc filtered tests without any VCD's included)

Would THAT be Ok? Would that be an unplayable hybrid? Or would that work to see the differences side-by-side?

It should work but I would use a cd-r/w to be sure.

Yes you can. Make sure each clip has the .mpg extension and
burn the cd as an ordinary ISO 9660 Mode 1 data cd (not as
a video or MODE2 cd) No damage will result!

Note: this cd will not be playable on 99.9% of other DVD players
so you might want to make your final video collection conform
to the VCD/SVCD specs for future proofness.. so to speak

Hey, this is cool!!! I didnt know my Apex could do this

Would this work if I burned mpegs to a DVD also?
