Problem playing VCDs on a Daewoo DVD 5700...

[One51]

Hey, I'm pretty new tothis stuff, but I have burned several VCDs that have worked on this DVD player, but I have encountered a problem with VCDs a friend burned for me.

I asked him to put a few TV shows on VCD for me while I was away. He did, but when I play them sometimes my player just starts to make funny sounds, like it can't read the disc, or is having problems keeping up with the disc. It only happens at certain parts of the VCD, and I can't figure out how to fix it. The VCD works on my cousin's player(forgot the model), so it might not be the disc, or could it still be the disc?

I was wondering if someone could help me out. Is there a way I could maybe recopy the VCDs myself, or is it just that my player can't read the VCDs my friend made? I'm just confused because it read my VCDs that I made but not these...

Sorry if I confused anyone with all this. I just don't know how to explain it exactly...

Thanks alot.

Could be that your player, doesn't like the media that your friend used. Or that he created an XVCD rather than VCD and your player isn't capable of playing it. Extract the mpeg file from the VCD using VCDGear, reauthor and burn a new vcd with nero. If it was an XVCD nero will complain about a non compliant mpg and you may need to reencode it resulting in a loss in quality. If you do have to do this, don't use nero to reencode use TMPGEnc.

Hi I have a very similar problem but with and RCA player.

I have tried different media as well as the same that work 15 times before.

The player sees teh vcd and then starts to play and then stops...

spins...
spins...
the starts to play

back to above.

I would like to know is it a problem with the medi or the burner. I have tried two different medi adn they do the same thing.

Can this be a problem with the burner?

If so how can I be sure....

I would really appreciate any help that can be given to this

Thanks

I"m having a similar problem with my VCD on my JVC XV-S300 it reads the VCD but after a few minutes it starts to skip, or it seems that it can't continue to read the VCD

Are they burning these VCD's at "High Speed?" I have had various "playing" problems with VCD/SVCD's burnt at high speeds, so I always burn at 4X now. It is also remotely possible that these VCD's were recorded at a faster video bitrate than the VCD standard of 1150 and your player cannot handle it (for VCD's.)

I"m burning it at a very slow speed 8x and the problem still continues.

As for the bitrate, i'm not sure how to change it or even how to view it.

If you know how to change it please tell me. I"m using VirtualDub to extract wav file from the AVI file, and TPMGedc to encode the AVI file with the WAV file. set at 23.97fps

thanks in advance
