Problems Playing Vcd on my Dvd Player

[fs8456]

My dvd player only accepts vcds. So I burned Resident Evil and a few other movies. When I play the movie on my tv, I get a bunch of blotches and wierd sounds come like out of sync noises. The video on the screen just gets really ugly. I used tmpgenc to burn it to a cdrw by imitation.

My settings are for resident evil when i converted it from svcd to vcd:
Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)

If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Assuming that your MPEG isn't simply really bad quality (did it look like that after you encoded?) you probably simply have a media compatibility issue.

Many DVD players are not designed to read CD-R/W media and do so badly/not at all.

You can try to experiment with different brands of media to find one that works for your machine. CD-RW often does work better than CD-R in these machines.

it looks fine on my computer, really good quality and i use cdrw which is compatible with my dvd player

The symptoms you are describing suggests that your CD-RW is not particularly compatible with your DVD player. Those effects are caused by the MPEG being incorrectly read or unread.

Have you checked the DVD Players link here at vcdhelp and checked out the reports on your DVD player to see what media brand works for other people ?

[fs8456]

yes

[Olli]

have you tried other media brands that are known to work with your DVD player ?

well?

Firstly, don't bump the post. I don't work here. I'm just some regular guy who happens to be one of the moderators of the forum. I usually answer my posts the next time I'm online if somebody else hasn't already done so.

As for the answer to your question, I've already given you the solution in most first post on this thread:
