no
are you sur your dvd player doesn't support vcd, almost 100% do but svcd is abit less, several of mine don't play svcd but play vcd and kvcd (thank god )

ya my DVD player supports vcd but my friends dvd player doesnt bcuz i had burn Barbershop 2 and i let him borrow it and when he put in the disc it said NO DISC ERROR

if it was a bin,cue are you sure it was vcd and not svcd(if it was svcd means you friends player doesn't support svcd)

I have the same problem, but there is a way around it. My player supports svcd but my dad's player does not. These players are able to play svcd but don't recognize the header for svcd. When I burn him a movie I fix the header first.

First use vcdgear to convert the cue/bin to mpeg.
Use TMPGEnc with the instructions from here.
Now burn with any program that will burn mpeg to vcd. I use the last freeware version of VCDEASY v1.1.5.2. You will see error messages in vcdeasy but burn anyway and it will work.

edit: fixed a link

check it out, pretty easy both ways and their's a chance it will work

the header trick does,t work for me well let me rephrase that it does work if i play the movie in fast fwd with no sound strange but true

[muchspl2]

yea its a crap shoot, sometin=mes it works sometimes it doesn't
but if your dvd player doesn't play svcd then its worth a shot to try it
