I burned two towers onto vcd, and then it plays perfectly in an AKAI DVD Player but it will not play right in a TOSHIBA DVD Player. It plays but the picture is low and slid over a little bit on the screen. Why is this?
I think the AKAI one could be one of those region free ones. Could this be why it plays fine and the TOSHIBA works but not correct. If not does n e 1 know what the problem is and could you tell me how to fix it?
Thx 4 n e help in advance.

I think basiclly it could be a numb er of things different DVD players read different brand CDs differently

the Akai player may be more lax about playing VCDs that don't conform precisely to the specifications. which would mean that the Toshiba could be too strict.

i'm just guessing, here. but it's a possibility.

yeah its just the player, my old one would play vcds and not svcd's, its a bastard. Theres a compatibility list here (http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php), maybe its there.

hope this helps.
