PBC PLAY ?

[hybrid]

Hello, ive got a Pioneer - 343 and when i insert my MADE SVCDS in my dvd player I've always get PDC PLAY saying in the dialog anyone what that is or how ot get it to show the time of the SVCD, I don't got any problems with any of the internet SVCDS only mine please help me.

Many authoring software add a dummy PBC structure on SVCD/VCD even if you don't need it (no menu...)
Nero does it...
Many Pioneer DVD wont display time info when there is a PBC. I work around this problem by using a good authoring tool : VCDImager. This one doesn't had any PCB if you don't want to and it solves the problem for me.

I just bought a DV-444 and I've got a similar problem.
The workaround I use is this :
Instead of pressing PLAY to start the VCD/SVCD, press 1 on the remote keypad (or any track number you want - track 1 will be the first videofile on the disk though!)

This forces the player into a basic playback mode (ie.non-PBC)

Gonna try VCDImager - got the URL anybody?

Cheers,

For PBC-less discs, follow the "Simple Multitrack" article on: http://www.geocities.com/medinotes/vcd

This is how you get around it:
Press play and when the video starts playing press stop. Then press 1 and then Enter on the remote. It will come up on the screen "Play without PBC"

I push the "1" key too. This way, the PCB message is replaced by the track number and the time.
