XSVCD with Nero

[qe]

Hello. I've searched through this great site, but I haven't found the solution to my problem. Perhaps you can help me.
I have a bunch of mpegs encoded for XSVCD that I want to burn using Nero. I set Nero for SVCD. I uncheck the standard compliancy box and start the burning without letting Nero encode my files. The disc looks great when played in WinDVD, but in my regular DVD-player (JVC XS N5SL) the sound is wobbly and the speed is dropping every now and then.
Any help appreciated... Thank you. /Jim

you haven't really given much to go on but at a guess i would say your standalone player is struggling to play your xsvcd

Well, according to the compability list on this site my standalone DVD-player should be able to play XSVCD. It can handle the aspect ratio (as I understand it's wider than SVCD), but the speed slows down from time to time and there's a ringing sound every time this happens. Do I have to re-encode it someway before burning it with Nero? I can convert it to SVCD, but then I won't get the advantage of the higher image resolution that XSVCD gives.
Any help appreciated, thanks for you effort...

exactly what are the specs of your xsvcd, every detail

"X"svcd simply means an mpeg2 that is outside of the SVCD specifications for either bitrate or resolution, there is no Xsvcd standard. It does not necessarily mean that your DVD player will handle any Xsvcd, especially if your mpeg is way out of the standard. The closer to the standard, the more likely that your player will handle it. You need to experiment a bit, starting with higher bitrates then changing resolutions to find out what your player can do. It sounds to me like you've created a disk that your player just will not play.
