Playing home VCDs on Sony DVD players??

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

Kevin,
Does the finished vcd play correctly on your computer drive with a software
dvd player?
If so, then the next step is to test it on another dvd player, most older
one's had problems with home made vcd's to begin with, so it might not be
anything you're doing that is wrong.
Also try a different brand of CD-RW, with a different dye color, it might
help.
