Home made VCD not recognized on Pioneer DV-355 DVD player

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hi All,

I am not having any luck in creating VCDs for my Pioneer DV-355. The
machine rejects any ones that I create. It tells me that they are CDs
and that they cannot be played

I have managed to create VCDs for the player in the past, but I can't
think of anything that has changed. I have tried different media
(Imation, TDK, Verbatim). I am using Ahead Nero 5.5 to burn the VCDs,
and have also tried TMPG to convert my AVIs to MPGs.

The VCDs that I create work on other DVD players (and on my PC), and
from the reviews I have seen on other sites, it looks like most people
have had great success with creating VCDs for the Pioneer DV-355.

Does anyone have any suggestions on things that I can try to get this
working? I really don't want to have to replace my player.

Thanks for any advice,

Ivan
