      how do I make a SVCD / VCD work in my Sony standalone DVD player?

      Mmy Sony DVD player (standalone) doesn't recognise any form of CDr, whether used for Audio, VCD or SVCD. The manual for the DVD player states that it does play VCD / SVCD. I want to be able to convert DVD movies into SVCDs or VCDs. I thought it might be the brand of CDr I use, but I've tried 2 or 3 diferent types without success. Does anyone have any suggestions where I'm going wrong?

      A little detail, is your Sony capable of reading CD-R/CD-RW's. Which model are you specifically talking about? That way i can give you more info!! cheers

      very nice site with a lot of info but when it comes to compatibility issue in terms of user observations; it's full of sh.t with false statements...

      To Armagan1 -

      My DVD player is a Sony DAV-S300. The manual states it can play 74 minute Video Cds, but it doesn't say whether CDrs or originals.

      It will also play original audio CDs, but not copies on CDRs.

      Thanks

      Unfortunately, according to latest Sony product catalog specs DAV-S300 which is a pretty old DVD Home Theates System, it does not play CDR/CD-RW's my friend. The newer ones which are DAV-S500/700/800 and so on can play copy stuff without problems due to the fact that they're equipped with "twin laser pickup system" and "precision drive 2". These let the player play copied stuff.. wish you luck!!!

      To Elpresidente DVP-NS300 does not play any copied stuff as well as DAV-S300. It's the WORST dvd player that Sony has ever made so far!!

      To Armagan 1

      Thanks for the advice - maybe I should've visited this forum before buying my DVD player!

      I took Daveml's advice and followed the link to www.vcdhelp.com - it said my Sony DAV-S300 does not work with CDR, but DOES work with CDRW. I tried again with a CDRW. I found I can play VCD on CDRW, but not SVCD.

      the website also said it should be able to play XVCD - what is an XVCD, and what software do I need to make one. Does it offer any advantages over normal VCD?

      All my friends that have Sony DVD players as you have found initially will not play copied VCD's etc. But most play copied CDRW's and many also will play Princo branded CDR's even though they should not in theory. Suggest you give them a try.

      no prob mate u shouldn´t believe everything on vcdhelp ... cause not everything is alright in their database .. ...
      everything depends on the CDR/W Brand ... as Chickenman said ..Princo can also be played (CD-R !! ) they also work on SAMSUNG DVD 909 (real dump)

      btw. the prob with all the standalone player stuff is ...that there isn´t only one Ns 300 ... there r many with different firmwares on board ... the newer ones got a little bit improved (but still don´t read every brand )

      btw2. I know the manual of this sony standalone player...

      For those of us who feed bad feelings on Sony players, there are two new products on European market, DVP-NS-305 & 405. I really recommend these two. They do everything...
      Cheerss...
