I was going to search for this problem before asking, but the search is done right now. I apologize if this has been asked before. If it has been please point me to the appropriate post.

I have a RCA RC5225P DVD Player. I downloaded The Matrix awhile back and created a VCD of it. I was able to play this on my DVD Player, however, a friend gave me some VCD's that he made and I am unable to play them on my player.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might be wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, someone mentioned to me about getting a firmware upgrade for my DVD Player. Is there one available, and how do I update it?

Thanks in advance for all your help.
