NEWBIE needs info please. having purchased a supertek 2003 multi format disc playing machine I noticed that the picture quality on vcd is fine apart from its greenish tint. can anyone tell me whether that is the disc or is itthe machine that does that? if it's the machine I can't do much about that but if it is the disc would changing to a dvcd be any better. as you can tell I'm not very good at this stuff but I am willing to learn.
thanks

If there's noone around here with the same player, it's hard to tell. Try it in some other DVD to see if it's still greenish (to rule out problems with your DVD).
Encode a VCD mpeg from a source you know is OK, then author as VCD. If it's still greenish, and your source material isn't, then there's something wrong with your codecs.

Encoding to a "DVCD" won't change anything.
BTW, depending on your perspective, you can't really make a "DVCD". A DVCD is simply an ordinary VCD with larger capacity. This is achieved at the stamping stage by winding the CD spiral tighter than allowed for in the CD specifications. Thus, DVCD is really talking about stamped high capacity discs.
On the otherhand, you are essentially creating "DVCDs" when you burn a standard VCD onto 90 and 99min media.
Either way, it is a fairly meaningless term and in reality coined for marketing reasons.
