i first ripped a dvd using smartripper
then converted with TPMG using template VideoCD(NTSC).mcf
finally burned using nero5.5

please reply What is format 2.0

If you are using Nero 5.5 you are actually already burning in VCD 2.0 standard.

Here the Nero definiton of VCD 2.0

Video CD V2.0 (VCD) is a standard for storing video data on a CD so that more data fits onto a CD and interactive selection of the content is possible. Dedicated devices such as CDI and DVD players support this format. Video and audio streams are compressed according to MPEG-1, audio level 2 and played back at single speed (75 blocks per second). As this format and video/audio data tolerate bit errors in general, the space usually spent on error correction codes can also be used for MPEG data. This increases the amount of user data in a block from 2048 to 2324 bytes per block, thus raising the capacity of a VCD by 13% compared to storing MPEG files on a data disc.

o.k. then i must have burned correctly, vcd plays well on my pc, but my original problem remains. that is, when i put this vcd in my dvd player ( a sony DVP-Sony DVP-S570D)
its recognised as a vcd, show track 1 BUT won't play

any thoughts, please reply

That is something totally different.

If you checkout the DVD Player compatibilty list for your specific player ( http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDnameid=438&Search=Search&list=0 ) it mentions that it won't play CD-R's and only specific silver layered CD-RW's. It's best to read through the comments to see which brands could help you. I presume that is the problem with your VCD.
