Why does my DVD player not play miniDVDs?
Most DVD players will load their player software according to the media type detected and they will load VCD / SVCD software if they detect a CD-R/W. Another problem is that DVD players are slow reading CDs. They can only read CDs at 1x or 2x speed.. 1x is enough for audio CDs and VCDs, 2x is enough for SVCDs. This is the reason why VCD and SVCD have a bitrate limit.. this is due to physical limitations. Only few DVD players have a DVD drive that is capable of the speeds your CD have to turn in case of the high bitrates of a miniDVD.
