Hi,

I am new to DVD players and to the whole VCD/SVCD burning world. I just got a Sony DVP-NS315 and want to burn VCDs/SVCDs of some home video.

I have followed directions on this site and also specific directions posted on the user reviews for the "Sony DVP-NS315". But have not been successful at all.

I captured AVI format video from my DV camera to my computer. Converted that or encoded to mpeg2 format using TMPGEnc and then multiplexed to mpeg1 using Mpeg tools in TMPGEnc. Then I burnt a VCD using Nero. Now when I put this CD-RW in my DVD player - it recognizes it as a VCD, and also shows the length of the video. But when I play it nothing shows up.

I am also having another issue - when I use this burnt VCD in my computer - it fails to recognize it as well. Says "invalid function". However when I use the very same CD-RW and burn data onto it, it just reads fine on my computer.

I am an absolute nebie to this - so please help!!!
