What's the point - VCDs won't play on anything common!

YIPPPEEE!
A) the site's back up & B) I've burned a VCD!!!
Hugs, wine, J.D. and happy cheering ensue. <grin>
Now it looked like @%^@, but hey, IT PLAYED.
I took an 80 dollar gamble, followed my hunch that it was the burner software, and bought Nero. Worked the first try.
Now all is left is to pour over the web site and figure out how to get my VCD's to look better than a 5th generation VHS tape.
I've got rid of most of the block noise, but the grainy"ness" is proving tough.
Thanks again to all!

I'm having a similar problem. I have a samsung DVD 511. It's on the list as playing vcd's but everytime I attempt to play a burned one I get a "no disk" error. The compatibility list does say it won't play cdr. Does a cdr burned as a vcd still count as a cdr?

yep it still counts as a cdr, but if you use Vivastar cdr's or sony cd-rw's it wil work.
