The only free SVCD player (that I know of) is STHSVCD. WinDVD and PowerDVD also plays SVCD.

I use WinDVD (v2.3) for playing VCD and SVCD discs.

As far as I know PowerDVD does not play SVCD, only VCD.
That is one of the reasons that I prefer WinDVD over PowerDVD.

You can try ELECARD MPEG2 PLAYER (Mpeg1 and Mpeg2 decoding).
Dowload it on http://moonlight.co.il
or http://www.elecard.com. It's a shareware, but no time expires.

o MMX-enhanced CPU (Intel Pentium MMX, Pentium II,
Celeron, Pentium III, AMD K6-2, K6-3, Athlon, etc.)
o Windows 95/98/NT/2000 with DirectShow or Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.0+ installed

I hope help you.
