The anwer to that is yes but it really depends on your dvd player and its features

Actually, the answer to that is No. Most do not play svcd. Most play VCD and some now play SVCD.

Yes Blamm is exatcly right not even some DVD players play VCD let alone SVCD i'm luck mine does goto here (http://www.dvdhelp.com) to check if your player does or not

get an APEX dvd player i think all those play vcd and svcd... mine does, my norcent dvd player also plays em

as a rule of thumb, "generic" (small company) dvd players are most likely to play VCD/SVCD. many name-brand ones do not, but some of them do. if you're going to buy a DVD player to play VCD/SVCD, you should definitely do some research and make sure it has that feature.

i have the kiss dvd player works fine for me

[reggie]

ALBA DVD108 plays everything :)

But, you have to type ina code for VCD and SVCD to work :)

Yeah as a Poster above commented..the cheaper Non-Brand name players seem to play most stuff u throw at em! Alba, Technika, Kiss, Logix, Wharfedale.....And most have pretty good sound/visual quality as the bigger branded names..the only thing i see about negative comments on these cheaper players is that u may get audio/video sync slippage occasionally on some discs (just press pause/play fixes it though), hey what do u expect though at such a cut price..For UK owners get ya self 'Technika dvd300'..it plays everything (i know, i bought one) - dvd,vcd,svcd,cdr,cdrw,mp3,jpeg,dvdr,dvdrw,xvcd, (no divx though, get a Kiss player for that)...Right im done, Au revoir... ;)

if u have a SVCD u can trick your player into thinking it is a VCD.

And some people like me might have the problem when they play them the just jump and the only way u can play it correctly is by watching it on fast forward but the problem that causes that is that svcd buffers are high about 230 or 240 I can't remember and vcd's are 46 so I just use a buffer at 40 and they work perfectly. Although I never use them unless I downloaded one.
