vcd showing on screen as mp3

[richuk1]

i'm trying to play a vcd on my dvd player, and it plays fine on my pc however when i put the disc in the player it won't play claiming it to be an mp3 disc.

i've explored the disc on the pc and cannot even find a mp3 file on the whole disc.

Can anyone explain why this is happening, and how to get round it, keen to watch film, nothing on telly tonight.

i am using a alba dvd 114

Did you use Nero to burn the VCD, you did not just move over the mpeg1
to the CDR?

Your DVD player seems to be a little wacko when it comes to VCD's

the disk was given to me so I realy don't know what it was burned with.

a load of other disks were in the batch and they all work fine, except this one, can't understand it.

Open the CD (explore) on your PC, does it shows a couple of folders
like the other VCD does?

Maybe this CD just have the MPEG file on it and you cold burn it with
Nero as a Standard VCD (if it was encoded near the VCD standard)
