i hope you can help me here![]()
i recently bought the harry potter 3-disc VCD and tried it on our VCD player (connected to our TV) and had no problems whatsoever. however, when I tried watching it on my PC (using Power DVD XP 4.0), first using my CD-ROM drive, it just won't play. when i tried it again on my CD-RW drive, it played but with the pixelated screen and later my computer hanging. this just happens on the 1st CD, and the other two plays normally.
i really think the first CD has a problem, but what?
any thoughts?![]()

Maybe some sort of data miscoding on the first disc to prevent PC copying? Just like the "copy protected" audo cds, they mess up the biginning a bit - a player will play it fine but a pure PC tries & fails.
Just a guess. You might rip the VCD with vcdxrip in the vcdimager tools to see the structure.Panasonic DMR-ES45VS, keep those discs a burnin' -

Harry Potter will fit on 2 VCD's, so it sounds like you have SVCD or XVCD ?
Look on the disk, inside the folders for a large dat file, this is the movie, load that into Vdub, or TMPGEnc to find out what it is, sounds like the first CD is corrupt.
THERE is NO copy protection out there for VCD's , they are no different to other CD-R's except being multi track etc., Just like a mix mode data Music type.
