I know that they can play VCD, but not sure if they can play foreign VCD.
I brought loads of VCD from Hong Kong, I can play them on PC and Laptop. But I want to buy a DVD player. Not sure if I can test it at the shop.
If the answer is yes, I am unsure with the wording of S(VCD) in a catalogue, I would of though it means you can play SVCD and VCD? I guess its safer to buy a DVD player which state it can play VCD. Some DVD players in the catalogue just say they can play SVCD, and not VCD?
Also, is VCD just not written by accident? Shouldn't all DVD players play VCD?
I seen a DVD player costing £100, and it doesn't say it can play VCD, I also seen a DVD player for £25, and it says it can play VCD?
I also heard that any DVD player that can play DVD can play VCD?
Does anyone know?
Thanks

I don't believe VCD have region coding. They should be playable on any player that supports VCD.

Yup as krispy kritter says ... there is no region coding on vcd's and as long as the player supports vcd it will play ... note: when (s)vcd is shown in the players stats it usually means it can play both svcd and vcd .... where as if it shows svcd (ie no brackets around the s) then it will play only svcd and not vcd ... if it only shows vcd then svcd is not supported
