    As you have played selfmade VCD's before on your DVD Player, see what the difference is between the one that doesn't play and the one's that do. Is the disk clean? Did you use a different type of media? Did you change the process is someway. Sometimes it will work if you use VCDgear to extract the dat file from the disk and re-burn it again.

    You should check via the DVD Compatibility list if you are using the correct media for your player - this could be the problem.

    If you purchase VCD's they are or rather should be "pressed" not burnt CD's. If you have purchased VCD's that have been burnt, they are then pirated copies. If you have purchased them from a reputable website, store etc. and your DVD player does not play them, the store, website etc. will usually give you a replacement or refund.

  8. Thanks for help everybody. I converted the DAT file to mpeg using VCDgear and reburned it back to VCD using my CDR. Works fine now.
