Problem with SVCD file

[mperathoner]

I recently downloaded a mpg file which is labeled xxxx_SVCD.mpg I can play it on my PC with WinDVD, but neither Windows Media Player or Real Player accepts it, so it really seems to be S-VCD

I tried to burn it for watching on TV (with a DVD Player which supports VCD and SVCD) using Win On CD 3.8, this is what happens:
Win On CD doesn't accept the file, neither in VCD nor in S-VCD mode
Checked the How-to's on this site and tried to load it with TMGEnc and with Virtual Dub - none of this programs is accepting it (invalid Steam and similar error messages)

I think that the file must be ok because Win-DVD plays it.

What can I do to burn it for watching with TV/DVD ???

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

WinOnCD rejects any non-compliant mpgs, while Nero will burn them without promlems. I would use a CDRW though, there's no way to guarantee it will work on your player.

Thanks for Your response. I don't want to install NERO since I made the experience that 2 cd burning suites, especially Win On CD and Nero, won't coexist one one system, and neither one will work after installation of the 2nd one. Ist there any other solution available???

I would reccomend usinf Nero for all your burning. I dont know much about Win On Cd but Nero seems to be able to do every thing I've ever needed. No problems at all with either VCD'd or SVCD's.
