I have a Panasonic DVD-A7.
The player supports VCD, but not CD-R!
Where the hell do I then copy my VCD's on to?
I have no interest in buying a DVD writer, and I am convinced that there must be some way of getting the disc to read on the player.
Any advice would really be appreciated.
Thanx

Try some audio CD-Rs. If they don't play try audio CD-RWs. If they also don't work you're out of luck as this is usually a hardware issue. Only replacing the whole drive mechanism could maybe solve it.
Bottom line: Next time try before you buy.--

Thanx...
although the last line hurt.
That machine cost me ZAR11 000-00! (About $1100-00)
I will try it though.

These are all good suggestions... but I do think I noticed in a manuel that it MIGHT read CD-RW. I will try copy the movies to one, and see if it works!
Hope I come right.
Frustrating, is'nt it?

"erase and burn the disks at 4x speed or slower"
That tip I "picked up" on a while ago.
I am still at work, and I am just tryin to now find a CD-RW to burn onto!
What rotten luck!
I will be sure to let you know if it works!

IT WORKS!
I copied the VCD onto an Audio CD-RW, as well as a "normal" CD-RW, and the DVD-A7 reads both!
Now I only have to work on the quality.
Ticker has DVD-like quality, but the others (Star, Chosen, the Follow, Ambush) need some work.
I might need to download better quality files.
I heard that the North American site offers different quality files on the Server there.
Let me know if you get this reply though, please.
Thanx again,
