vcd doesn't work in my apex

[kinglouis100]

I bought an Apex dvd. It doesn't play my vcd's. divx burned by
easy cd creator. heard maybe they stopped playing
with the vcd's in the newer models. should i take it back and try
another product?

divx burned by easy cd creator???

What? that is not vcd....or do you mean that you convert the divx to vcd and burned with easy cd?

[kinglouis100]

i down loaded the file and burned it to a cd using ez cd creator as a data cd.

[Baldrick]

That is not a VCD.

You must convert to vcd and burn as vcd.

Message received from Apex yesterday:

Your Issue Was:

The AD-1100WB is currently on sale in the UK. Does it have the capability to play VCD and SVCD?

Apex Digital's Response Is:

no player manufactured after 4/15/02 will not play vcd\'s

Thank you for using our website!

If VCD won't work try SVCD....or have they removed it too?

[banjazzer]

I don't know - I decided not to buy one! However, since making a DVD player play VCDs is trivial, it must be part of a wider policy to prevent playback of VCD for some reason - perhaps pressure from the movie industry? And if they removed VCD capability I suspect they would also have removed SVCD capability.
