I've read the ratings for the Samsung DVD 711 in the compatibility list, but no one has mentioned a few things that I need to know.

Does it play XVCD? If yes, do you know the max bit rate?
Does it play XSVCD? If yes, do you know the max bit rate?

Thanks, in advance, for any answer. I'm making CDs of family events for my brother who lives in another state, and he has no idea what this stuff is all about.
