I´ve been using dvd2svcd for a while now and everythings fine my home svcd´s look great, so I made a few for my friend who just bought a new lg dvd player.

the dvd player is prettty good it read multi region dvd´s (pal ntsc) etc. it also reads vcd´s mp3 cdr´s and cdrw, but when I gave him the svcd i made, it didn´t work :( , it just didnt recognize the cd.

I made a few vcd´s for him but they aren´t the same you know vcd´s compared to svcd so burned I decided to se if I could trick the dvd player.

I took one of my mp2 svcd files of one of my svcd rips and with tmpg multiplexed the file into a mpeg 1 vcd (non standad) file, and then opened the file in vcdeasy, the program recognised the file as a mpg 1 file but with the scvd 480x480 resolution, the I just made a normal 2.0 vcd.

I placed the disc in the player and hurray it recognised the disc and played the video, the resolution looked great, it was the normal scvd resolution but the twist is that the video played jerky it wasn´t smooth but out of sinc and the audio was jerky too.

well the question is if the player accepted this resolution is there a way to let the video play normally. is it possible.

I know that the easy´st way is to buy a dvd player that play´s scvd´s but well life isn,t easy. is it possible to make a vcd with svcd´s quality and let it play smoothly

1. You're supposed to pick a title that applies to your post.

2. If a VCD could be made with the quality of SVCD, why then would SVCD ever have been made? Therefore, I highly doubt you'll be able to do what you want. Check vcdhelp.com to see what they mention about your friend's standalone.

Simply put your Buds DVD player cannot handle higher bitrates.
The same thing happens to my Pioneer DVD player if I go above 2700Kbit.
Pretty much your stuck. VCD will not be as good as a SVCD since both the resolution and the bitrates are smaller. I watch them both. I use VCD's for my TV shows since I can fit the whole episode without a problem on one disc, but my movies are SVCD.

I had the same problem with my friends Panasonic DVD player. Would play VCD but would be stuttering. There is a way to fool the DVD player into playing SVCD. The way I accomplished this (I found this in the forum by searching) was to take the mpeg file that DVD2SVCD created before it made the bin/cue files. I took the file into TMPGEnc, demuxed the file so I had a video and audio file. Took the audio file into BeSweet,downsampled the audio from 48-44.1 then remuxed them back together. Then used Nero to burn the file as a VCD. It would complain that it isn't compliant, but I would turn of compliancey and burn anyways. The result was that the quality of the VCD was as good as SVCD and would play on my friends Panasonic DVD as a VCD without the stuttering. I believe this is called creating an XVCD. Hope this helps.

@plouie10 before he goes and does all that, he should go to vcdhelp.com and check to make sure what type of formats his friends dvd player can handle and bitrates also.

What about MPEGAV instead of MPEG2 folder? I seem to recall in various places that some players will only accept the MPEGAV. Which could be the reason why his player doesn't recognize the disc. Just try creating a SVCD with the MPEGAV folder instead. And check vcdhelp.com if it's SVCD compatible.

i think he bought(?) a bad player ,not every player which accepts vcd`s acept`s svcd`s,
i don`t know ,but when you your friend "is in svcd`s",than maybe try a another player,i think thats the best,but the winner is "DVD":cool:
