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

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!!!weimeraner said:
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!!

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...

Hi Dogznob,
what speed do you copy the svcd at as i can't get them to work on my S800? - do all svcd work if you use the types of cdr that you have mentioned?

I copied them at 8x disk to disk and they work ok.Sometimes get pixel drop-out so prob best to lower speed.They show up as vcd2 in my pc using Real Magic Hollywood 2. I'm assuming that vcd2 is svcd since some vcd's just show up as vcd.
I'm told Sirius are no more, but there is still stock around if you look hard enough. Vivastar are easy to come by. I just asked in my local retailer. They told me Vivastar play in anything.
