257161 2004-08-02 02:20:00 A lot can depend on the brand of CD-R you are using, some machines don't like reading certain brands, and there are various settings that VCDs can be burnt to as well with regards to bitrate etc - it could be that the bitrate is too high for your particular player.

I'm not one to advocate buying junk from the red shed, but if it works for you, then that's the solution.

257163 2004-08-02 07:21:00 I think I may have some more info that will help those who know about these things:
The VCDs have been compressed to fit on a 700mb disk.

Is it possible to extract them out to go on 2 disks uncompressed?

That looks like your problem right there. The SVCD format isn't supported by your player. You can always try watching some of his plain VCD movies, they should work.

Apparently SVCD is much better quality than VCD, so I would go and get a cheap one that supports lots of different formats.
