Ok, here's the deal. I have an Apex 1110-W. It has played every SVCD, and VCD that I have burned onto CD-R. I wanted to combine them so i purchased SVCD2DVD. Wonderful utility for this type of operation. However, When i burn to DVD+R here is what I've noticed.
1) Does not want to play on the Apex, get a No Disk Display. (Even though I have burned a backup of another DVD to DVD+R and it plays fine, is that different?)
2) on the ps2, the menu displays, and i can only play the first track. if i try to play the second track i get audio only.
3) on my friends house next door it plays fine, and on a newer model Apex it plays fine.
4) Plays fine on the PC it's burned from...
My question would be 1) why does a DUP of a DVD work fine on DVD+R, but this method of combining VCD/SVCD does'nt? 2) Is it possibly some setting i'm missing when i do this? I have tried using nero, copytodvd, and tmpc DVD Author and none of these methods seems to work.
Thanks for any info.
PS. My burner is a Lite-On DVD+RW LDW-401S (I know probably not the greatest, but in my budget at 100 bucks plus a $30 rebateIt will burn CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD+R

Very simple not al players play dvd-svcd well cause it isn't a real DVD format.
What you can do is try upgrading you firmware of you dvd-player.Greatings,

I disagree, after doing some more research, and testing a few things.... From what I found: there are "Legal" formats for both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 that will work on DVD.
To test this, I used Sonic. I know from what i've read people have said this re-encodes the video, however i was able to burn a perfect playable DVD using 4 vcd's for one, and 2 SVCD's with another. According to Sonic's Documentation it does'nt re-enode the video if it meets the following requirments for: MPEG-1 , NTSC Frame size = 352x240 and for MPEG-2, NTSC frame size of 720x480.
I tested this by using SVCD2DVD creating Elementry Streams and patching the 1st header... worked, of course the video for the SVCD that was at 480x640 looked a little to the left of the screen, but it worked.....
Now, my question is, if Sonic can create a DVD using the vcd's and svcd's why can't we. What is Sonic possibly adding to the burn that we might be missing?
THanks for any insite. -
