XSVCD 2 DVDR+ -Pioneer DV-333 standalone plays half screen.


I downloaded the test DVD for SVCD 2 DVD from this site. The first file on the test DVD with Homer Simpson’s plays flawlessly on my DV-333. The second clip (VCD) doesn’t even play sound or anything just freezes. And finally the SVCD clip plays half screen on the left side of the TV with a black space on the side.

I followed the guide on this site for using the DVDPatcher and managed to create a DVD with SpruceUp that plays half screen as well. Is there anything I can do for my clips to be recognized as 352x240(actual rez I encoded at) rather than what DVDPatcher is telling me 480x480.

Wouldn’t 352x240 be considered a Compliant DVD rez? Forgive me I am new to DVD authoring but am very experienced in SVCD/VCD creation.

Thanks
