  1. I made a xVCD in VCDease 1.0.9 with chapters every 5 mins, and burned it to a CD-rw to test it w/o wasting a normal cd-r.
    The CD-rw played perfectly in my software player (ASUS PowerDVD 2000, WinDVD 2000 doesn't seems to want to work with anything). So I said to my self, YYEEESS!!!!, and burned the image-file to a cd-r with the burn cue in VCDeasy, but but, in the end of the disc my player freezes and I get strange noices and broken pictures.
    Can anyone tell what the f*ck went wrong?????? I belived I could test the result with a cd-rw but NO!!!!

    Info on the xVCD:
    1567kbps VBR Video, MPEG-1
    192kbps Audio
    1h 2m 12s

    Subject: [2-13] Can DVD players read CD-Rs?

    The only discs that a DVD player is guaranteed to read are DVD discs. Support for CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW may be included, but is by no means guaranteed.

    CD-R was designed to be read by an infrared 780nm laser. DVD uses a visible red 635nm or 650nm laser, which aren't reflected sufficiently by the organic dye polymers used in CD-R media. As a result, many DVD players can't read CD-R media. Some DVD players come with two lasers so that they can read CD-R. For a technical discussion, see http://www2.osta.org/osta/html/cddvd/intro.html and http://www.emedialive.com/EM1998/bennett3.html.

    CD-RW discs have a different formulation, and may work even on players that can't handle CD-R media. If CD-R media doesn't work, try copying the disc to CD-RW instead (assuming your recorder supports CD-RW).

    Some DVD-ROM drives may be unable to read multisession discs. In general, though, DVD-ROM drives (as opposed to DVD players) are able to read CD-R media.

    If the box doesn't say that something is supported, assume that the feature isn't. Look for the MultiRead or MultiPlay logos, which indicate that the DVD player or DVD-ROM drive can read CD-R and CD-RW.
    As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."

  3. I forgot to say I played the discs back in my CD-RW Burner and not in my DVD-rom. Don't know if it makes a difference, but the VCD was made for a DVD-player which support CD-r and CD-rw and even DVD-r/rw, x(s)VCD, VCD/SVCD (the Yamaha "you ain't getting your money worth" S-520 )
    It seems like it scruwed up the burning of the CD-r.
