it might not support that brand of cd-rw&#39;s, players are really picky about cd-rw&#39;s

[MakaveliThaDon]

ok...my CD-RW&#39;S that im using are... Phillips CD-RW 80min/700mb Highspeed 4~12x
And the dvd player that im using is... Deccavideo DVD player - DVD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/VCD/SVCD/MP3.
Does that help?

[MakaveliThaDon]

Any help? :helpsmile:

Is the file already an mpeg OR are you letting Nero encode it for you ?

[MakaveliThaDon]

yes, at start nero encodes it when i go 2 burn it... but if i make a minidvd it will work, but if i make a vcd or a svcd it wont work at all.. its wierd... any help? :helpsmile:

[cwctv]

It is a bit weird hmm...as you may have seen around the board Nero is a NOgo for encoding people use programs like TMPGEnc then Nero just for burning.

i always let nero encode for me and ive never had any problems. but yeah trying a different program to encode might help. and try cd-rs instead if you have any.

Just select to burn a video cd as normal.

If you use tmpgenc to encode, nero will usually not ask if you want to encode it and you can just burn it. Even if after you have encoded it with tmpgenc, nero may still ask if you want to encode it, just select to burn it without encoding it and it will work.

Have you tried CD-R yet?

It&#39;s worth wasting one (if indeed it is wasted) just to find out if the problem is encoding or media. If it works with CD-R then you know that it doesn&#39;t really like CD-RW.

You need a faster data rate for video compared to music. Consequently some players will accept CD-RW for music but can&#39;t read them fast enough for video, that may be the problem.

A few people have suggested CD-R and your reply is:

nope, my dvd player can play both CD-R & CD-RW&#39;S. this is weird....wats goin on?
Can I ask you a question? If you know all about this and don&#39;t want to accept people&#39;s suggestions then why ask here?

yeah maybe but my dvd player plays a minidvd if i made one, and wats the difference between a cd-r and cd-rw? i thought the only difference is that u can erase a cd-rw, is there more 2 that?

[Virtualbody1234]

Well here&#39;s an example of a difference. Have you ever seen a CD-RW that can be written at speeds of 48x ?

so is speed a major factor in video then?

[Virtualbody1234]

Listen. Why don&#39;t you go try it and see?

[lynx]

You can play music from a CD without actually being able to fully read the data stream, but you can only play video from the data stream. And reading the data stream from CD-RW is usually slower than from CD-R. It may be that your dvd player just can&#39;t manage to read it fast enough.

So your dvd player may be able to use CD-RW, may be capable of reading VCD, but it may not be able to read VCD from CD-RW. Until you try CD-R you will never know.
