VCD doesn't play in DVD/VCD player

Newbie Forum Discuss, VCD doesn't play in DVD/VCD player at Starters forum; I have a Toshiba SD-1800 and a vcd burned to a CD-R. It played on my old dvd player, but the new one has a disc error and won't load. Now I don't know what this entails, but does the vcd need to be in the VCD2.0 format? Thanks.

does your new dvd player play copied audio cds? it may be a problem with reflectivity .... but thats usually on older drives. just hazarding a guess.

My DVD player will only play certain cdr discs. so maybe you could try a few different makes and types. and check to make sure your dvd player can read cdr discs.

Ok problem solved. My new player only plays NTSC. I had to use TMPGenc to convert pal vcds to ntsc.

Most likely it will play one of those formats, if not both. If it only plays one format, chances are it will be DVD-R. The newer dvd decks play both dvd+r and dvd-r.
