    Im about to get a new dvd player since my trusty old Pioneer DV-343 has finally died. I was wondering if anyone knows of dvd players that are capible of playing these xDVD type discs. Thanks.

    If you mean the kind of DVD SVCD2DVD(MPG) produces, I can vouch for Centrum Libra/Gemini, which is sold as SEG Hollywood II (and III?) too.

    I mean no reencoding of svcd video, only patching it to a different rez and reencoding the audio to 48. I tryed doing that on my old pioneer but it did not stretch the screen properly.

    Exactly what SVCD2DVDMPEG does.

    So you have a SEG Hollywood II right, and it can play these? Is it a good player?

    No, I have a Centrum Libra, but it seems to be the same innards - same DVD drive, same chipset, same firmware. A real cheapo player, but plays almost anything. I've just tried reauthoring a 2 disc SVCD to 1 DVD with SVCD2DVDMPEG and it worked without a hitch, except for TMPGEnc DVD Author which didn't scale the chapter thumbs for the menu properly. But it played 100%

    Yes, that might be so, as I'm living in Sweden. Filling in your profile helps in these matters...
