My dvd player only plays vcd's and not svcd's therefore is there any way I can get movies in better quality at least a little clearer than they are with some kind of editer?

A second option would be to try the "header trick" to gimick your player into thinking that an SVCD is actually a VCD. Use the search function in the forums, and you should be able to find some messages on how to do this.

The short answer is you can't. As VCD is a standard (352x240 MPEG1 video = 1150kbit/s & audio=224kbit/s). But as Conquest10 said if your standalone will play xVCDs that's the way to go. Go to the DVD players list and check the highest bitrate that your player supports.
Then make xVCDs at/near that bitrate, and/or raise the resoultion. Remember that there's really no quaility difference between MPEG1 and MPEG2, so an xVCD can look as good as a SVCD or DVD if you match up the resolution/bitrate (and start from a the same clean source). -
I just looked at you profile. It says you have an APEX AD-1500. an AD-1500 if it plays VCDs, it should also play SVCDs. Are you sure you created a valid testing SVCD? I suggest you download an SVCD sample from: http://www.vcdhelp.com/svcd , burn the image to CD and test with it.

You're all ignoring an important point: the process used to create the VCD will affect the quality. Sure, there's an upper limit to how good VCD can look but many people who complain about VCD looking terrible are more likely to be suffering from either bad source material or a poor encoding process.
Anyway, do troubleshoot your SVCD burning process if others say SVCDs work on your player... since it's easier to make a great SVCD than a great VCD.
