Playing vcd on dvd player

A cd-rw would normally hold 500MB of data. A normal movie would need about 3-4 GB of data. You get programs that would save the movie on CD-RW as a VCD with compression to fit in lesser number of CDs. But you will not find many players that would play the cd-rw with the VCD format movie.

Best to use the DVD discs.

The short answer is NO it will not play Divx. It will only play DVD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, VCD, SVCD, CD, CD-R/RW, or MP3-CD.
I hope this helps and good luck!

try cleaning the lens but be careful when doing this,also your dvd machine may not be compatible with other disc formats, normal dvd players can only play dvd video and some vcd. Not all dvd players will play DVD-R/Rw or DVD+R/Rw discs, check your owners manual.

Install k-lite codec pack ,you are missing codec. Some recommend vlc player.

I've never had a problem playing videos on my unit, mpgs,mpeg,divx. Try ramvideos.com to download videos and burn using your burning software.

Nero 6 and 7 does not provides us the facilitiy of burning the DVD in appropriate DVD Format. Instead it burns the DVD in the normal DATA Format, which is not supportable by our DVD Player. To play the DVD in our DVD Player we should burn the DVD in the appropriate DVD Burner which itself converts the extension of the movie and make it proper for a DVD Player to read it. It also adds some files to the DVD which is sometimes used by the dvd player in running the DVD.

Yes of course.!

Cheers!

if you did not install the wires to the motherboard ( a small set of wires- I think it's 4-pin) it will not play the sound- ( that's if it requires that wire)
you can also uninstall it in device manager, restart and let windows re-install it again because software may have overwritten some important files-

finally the software that plays the dvd may be buggy in that it mutes the sound- check the toggle (it may be on mute on the screen) I always uninstall it and use interactual dvd player that comes with universal dvd's ( like the Bourne moveis next to me right now)

for stand alone software- I prefer Nero as Roxio overwrites everything- Nero is friendly- playing dvd's , burning etc...

Hope it works for you

those kinda players wont play DVD rom disks and certain ones that are made up. DVD-RAM or ROM wont work. Try blowing inside the player for any dust. if it still doesnt work its the maufacters problem. The player will play CD-G audio only, not graphics The ability to play back DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R, CD-RW, and CD-Jpeg discs may depend on recording conditions.

Playable Formats for this model: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-Audio, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, MP3, SVCD, VCD Have fun.
