If this quetion is out of the scope of this group I appologize.
I recently discovered that I could put my animations on CDs as
Video-CDs. I made 3 animations on seperate CDs and they played great on my
PC DVD player. When I tried to play them on a friends home DVD player (It
held 5 DVDs at a time) only one of them could be read by the DVD player.
Upon further investigation I found that I had mistakenly put one of the
animations on a CD-RW. The point is that CD-RW is the one that the player
was able to read. I have since learned that most home DVD player will not
read CD-Rs.
My question is. Has anybody else had any experience with this? Is this
unusual, or is this because of the way CD-RW discs are made? and should I
wory about it ruining my CD-RWs.
By the way the DVD player also played audio CDs copied on CD-RWs.
Stumped and curious
Randy
PS: Even a point in the right direction would be helpful!! THANKS.

Yes, CD-RW disks are the way to go for assured compatibility, although even
then your DVD player still needs to recognize the VCD format first (specs
usually say so).
I can use CD-R without any problem apparently on my Sanyo DM-360 player. It's
a low cost player and yet seems okay with those. I haven't even tried CD-RW
for it.
For plenty of info about all this look at www.vcdhelp.com because there's a
player compatibility list (DVD Players link).
I'm new at it too and what I've been using is TMPGEnc
http://www.tmpgenc.com/e_main.html to convert my CMPEG encoded files to a
proper mpeg (template for it) for use with Nero http://www.ahead.de/ to burn
to CD-R.
I'm also confused as to why CD-RW is said to be best simply because everything
I knew previously pointed to CD-R as being the only guarantee of it working in
a home, car or portable player after the CD has been "closed" for no further
writing. As to CD-RW being said to be best for VCD use in DVD players I
haven't a clue why that is just now. In fact, I've got Memorex CD-R's and
seems people complain about that brand. Maybe I just haven't done enough to
notice.

That is very odd and not what they say about them
in documentation. I just got a CD-RW myself and
would not have expected that result... but more
importantly, what software you use to put them
onto the discs? And what format was the vid. in?
--
Yeah, but ask yourself... why are you really
interested?

I'm afraid it's not universal. In fact, each
standalone DVD player has a different set of capability
(Medias supported (DVD is mandatory, CDR, CDR-W or DVD-R are all optional),
Some are able to read MP3 CD-store,
Support of either VCD, S-VCD, X-VCD or mini-DVD is also optionnal)
Just search the net on the subject!

French reading people can found interesting tutorials
for making DVD/SVCD/VCD... on http://www.media-video.com/
There is also a list of players/capabilities...

Your welcome. However my comment that CD-RW would be best for compatibility
may have been a misjudgment, I'm still unclear on it myself. Seems it's about
a tie between that media and CD-R. I think I was considering it to be the
better of the two because of how CD-R isn't as useful storage-wise. Again,
take my words at less than face value people and you'll all be okay.
