SVCD wont play in DVD player

[samo21]

I've been making vcd's for a long time and today I decided to burn a very high quatlity file in svcd format. It burned fine and when i put it in my dvd player nothing happend. It said "vcd" and then "pbc on" and thats it. I figured that it is possiable that one file could just be corrupted and needed to be reencoded but I went to the 2nd file and that one didnt work either. I played the vcd on my computer so I dont think there is something wrong with it. Does any one know how to fix this?

I am having a similar problem. Especially with movies in Divx.

what is your DVD player. not all DVD players support SVCD Play back. if it is sony then it won't paly svcd

Mine is an Apex, im not sure what model though.

Mine is an Apex-AD 1500

it says on the dvd compatibility list that all Apex are compatiable with svcd so maybe should i reencode the files with nero?

just turn off the pbc. i have an apex ad-1500 and that soolve my problem.

I tried turning of the PBC and it still didnt work, any other suggestions?

I can get VCDs to play in it, but I havent tried burn the same files to an SVCD. i tried turning off the PBC as well. Anybody else have any other suggestions?

I can't even get my Apex 1100w to play regular VCDs that I burnt.. anybody had any luck? If so what software are you using to burn?

I can play VCD and SVCD on my Apex 1200

I went to Best Buy to check out the APEX cos' I wanted to get into burning VCD, SVCD's & DVD's and I read that brand does it all. They did'nt have any APEX but I found a JVC open box buy for 119.00 and to my amazement it plays my homeburned DVD's, VCD's and SVCD's. :)

Compliant VCD's (VCD2.0) and SVCD's are with PBC. Turning the PBC off at SVCD will make it incompliant, so it will be at your own risk (not garantueed to work).

Never expect a DivX SVCD/VCD to work at a DvD. DivX is AVI, and (S)VCD are MPG so this wouldn't work anyway!

I convert the divx movies to mpg using tmpgenc. i was able to play the same movies with VCD that i cant get to play as SVCD.
