Hi,

I am wandering if anyone would could help me out

The Shinco 868 DVD player claims that it can play SVCD but I haven’t been able to successfully play any SCVD format . It detects it as a VCD 1.1 and just refuses to play anything but just has a track1 displayed on the screen, and that’s about it. Everything else from Mp3, Audio, VCD, Mp3's, to DVD’s play fine.

I have actually been able to run one SVCD which I got from a friend, but this was the only ever SVCD to work on the DVD player which when played it was detected as a SVCD.


The SVCD that works has a folder looking like this

EXT - Empty Foler
MPEG2 - AVSEQ01
SEGMENT - Empty
SVCD - ENTRIES.SVD, INFO.SVD, LOT.SVD, PSD.SVD, SEARCH.DAT, TRACKS.SVD

While all the others I have look like this (which wont work) (but work fine on all other DVD players that support SVCD)

EXT - SCANDATA.DAT
MPEG2 - AVSEQ01
SVCD - ENTRIES.SVD, INFO.SVD, LOT.SVD, PSD.SVD, SEARCH.DAT, TRACKS.SVD

Very similar but different at the same time. I heard there was two diffrent structures to SVCD, could it be it only supports one structure, and not the other, and if thats the case which structure does mine support and what program can convert it to that structure.
