Help with JVC xv-fa95gd

I'm trying to burn xvcd and svcd's to playback on my new jvc. This is my first attempt at burning vcd's of any kind so bear with me please.

I am using vcdeasy with vcd 1.1 checked. My player seems to like vcd 1.1 better than vcd 2.0. If I try to burn anything with a 2500kbs video rate the player freezes up or goes all pixelated on me. If I drop down to 2200kbs or so it works fine. Is this normal for my player? The manual states it will playback xvcd and svcd's.

I'm using tmpg to convert the files. 720x480 resolution with xvcd and 480x480 with svcd. I really want this thing to work right as the progressive scan picture is awsome and I definitely need a changer. This was the only player that had everything that I wanted all in one package.

The xvcd I burned at 2200kbs works 90% of the time. Sometimes the player loads it up and it will not read it at all or the first few seconds are blocky.

I am using Sony CDRW's to burn with. Figured a cdrw would be better since I am trying all kinds of new things. I've probably made about 30 coasters all ready. Would a different brand of cdrw's help?

Thanks,

Tom

Just a suggestion which may or may not help. I found that burning with CDRWs at 10x would cause playback problems even on my apex. Try burning at 8x or slower if you're burning 10x CDRWs.

Hope this helps.

This also may or may not help. I have a JVC VX-523 Player and I have used Verbatim 10x CD-RW media to burn SVCD at 10 Speed. Plays back with no problems.

Another thing to consider is to try different converting / encoding software. Might yield better results??

I tried burning a svcd using standard resolution and bitrate last night. I burned it to a TDK cdr and so far it works fine. Although my player seems to play stuff fine one time and then the next it will screw up.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll make a trip to Staples tonight to pick up some different cdrw's and try burning at a different rate.
