If they have been authored as a VCD-DVD, then this is a non standard format, and as such is not guaranteed to play on all DVD players. You may just be unlucky and have a player that can't play VCD-DVD. Have you tried the disc in any other DVD players.

Thanks for the reply guys
yes they were vcds but i did not convert them
i did try on a friends Dvd Player and they worked fine
but is there a way to convert them to work on my dvd player

Well, according to this, your player should play vcd's. If they dont, then yes, there is a way to convert but first you have to decide what you want to burn as(dvd or vcd).

i would like to copy them to my hard drive fix them up and
burn back as DVDs

there are 3 directorys on the dvds
is"t got the normal Audio_ts & Video_ts
the third one is Uleaddmf so i think it has been done with
ulead DVD MovieFactory or Workshop could these programs cause the problem i have heard they are not very good

thank you for the reply

Well Guys
Thanks for your replys i have read through the Forums and come up with this
Step 1 .Intervideo DVD Copy.. To copy to Hdd as 2 * Vcd Mpegs about 1Hr
Step 2. Tmpgenc ..To Join & Convert to Pal DVD Mpeg about 4-5 Hrs
Step 3. Ulead DVD Movie Factor ...To Make Vob Files 30 mins
Then DVD Shrink & Nero to Burn 30 mins
they work fine
if you think this process is to long can you give me a short cut
