I've created a dvd with two svcds on one dvd-r, it works fine in my PS2 and on the PC. Now the trouble, when I play it in my standalone player (sony 7700) the screen looks very funny.
I got 1½ picture on the screen, I've got the normal picture, and right of this I've got ½ of the same picture of the movie again.
The Sony player plays svcd on cd's without any trouble. I've changed the resoulution in the first sector to 352 x 576, to get into the authoring program, and then changed it back before compiling the project. It seems the player is the trouble, anyone got a way around this problem ?

This is the reason I keep telling people not to use the "trick the authoring package" method of converting to DVD-R. You really need to reencode the movie to 352x576 or 720x576 rather than change the headers. 480x480 is NOT DVD compliant, no matter who says it's "cool." True, it will work on some players -- but not as many as some would lead you to believe.

it probably is your player... it works on my Pioneer DV-444. Personally I'd rather not put svcd on dvd at all if I would have to reencode it, can't stand further quality loss so I'm glad it works.
