VCDs burned with Nero won't play in my DVD player

[shaun_au]

Hi all,

I'm new to this group. I'm running into a problem with the VCDs I burned with Nero. I simply followed the "How to author VCD" instruction on this site and burned a few VCDs with my Nero demo software. None of them can't be play in my Toshiba 2200 DVD player. The tv screen stays blank with a line of text saying: "check disc". Can anyone please help me out?

Thanks.

Shaun

my dvd-player (panasonic 350a)also don't play cd-r (vcd), but only cd-rw (vcd). try it. i burn always with nero.

Your player doesn't do well with CD-R's at all. See the following from this site's DVD Player compatibility list:

CD-RW's should work OK.

The VCD works on my computer. I used PowereDVD player on my Windows 2000 Server to play the disc. The movie ran flawlessly. My Toshiba SD-2200 plays other VCDs I got from Hongkong just fine.

I guess I need to use CD-RW then. Also, I need to upgrade my Nero demo to the full version. Hope those two would help.
