    Hi,

    Changing the names is part of the "authoring" done by Nero and is to comply with the standard for VCDs on stand-alone DVD players.

    You may need to install DVD-player software such as WinDVD to play it on a computer (I don't use VCDs so I can't check).

    Your stand-alone player may not play VCDs; check the "DVD players" section in the left-hand column of this screen.

    Allan
