hi guys,

im currently faced with a problem regarding the svcd structure on 2 films, both
are Fast Empire releases, for the purpose of this discusion i will call them A and B.
Now i had also wondered why Powerdvdxp refused to play them, it would throw up an unknown format
error, but thought no more of it as my standalone Dansai 852 played them both fine.
Then i got curious why?
My only clue is the structure both film A & B have the same and are as follows

Ext/..........MPEG2/........sEGMENT/..........SVCD/.....
Scandata......Aveq01........(empty)/..........Entries/Info/Search/Tracks
Compared with my usaul structure created with DVD2svcd and vxdbuild

Ext/..........Mpeg2/........Segment/..........SVCD/.......
Scandata......Aveq01........(empty)/..........Entries/Info/Search/Tracks/lot/psd

Now i have encountered this lack of Lot/psd before but never fully understood it.
Is it possible to incorprate this into the svcd, for example to multisession the disc, or are these files unique to every svcd?.
Short of that is there a way to extract the entire mpeg stream and recompile the svcd structure.

ok ive looked at vcdimager,vcdrip which looks like it could do the job, however im a little confused how to use it, will i need to obtain a compiler first, any advice would be really appeciated.

This rather defeats the object of a bulletin board.
Anyhow i finally discovered that vcdrip is built into the gui of vcdeasy which btw has a backdoor virus embedded in the dll source code.
I have now been able to rip the avesq1 dat file from the svcd and recompile the svcd by dragging into Nero.v5.5.8.
The resulting svcd has the missing lot and psd files and will play in Powerdvd xp.

I thank everyone for their valued input..not
