Does this disc play on anything at all? If so, what?

Did you buy this "vcd"? Could it be it's a dvd and that's why it won't play in your cdrw?

ya i bought it. its some chinese tv series. it is really a vcd, cuz all other vcds of the same series play on my comp. besides, my cdrw drive is also dvdrw, so it doesnt really matter.

i think it is possible to be played on a pc, as my friend also had a vcd that has this prob, but he found some software that reads the vcd (too bad he forgot the name of the software). n how can the vcd not meant to be played on pc when other vcds of the same series can be?

Ok, try Cyberlink PowerDVD, that is a decent movie player.

Look here:http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware...otect_cd.shtml Sounds like one of these or similar. (Thanks to G3ri) Your best bet is to try and determine which one it is if any, then google for a way around.
