Why wont my Nero SVCD play on my Standalone Player?
It could be because your VCD player doesn’t support VCD. Most DVD’s don’t support SVCD. VCDImager seems to make compatable files but is hard to use. Easy CD creator sometimes makes bad files it depends on how twitchy your player is and Nero may burn a new SVCD version that isn’t supported by your player. All else fails all you can do is try the VCDImager instead. I haven’t the time to study this and explain a fix but here is the basic problem below: Nero doesn’t seem to be able to tell the difference between versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the VCD format and so burns the wrong one. There is a way to patch the *.svd file, that requires changing one hex byte in a hex editor. I have show a picture of where it is. I’m unable to test if it works because both versions play fine for me. Below is an example of the code that changes a version 2.0 to 1.1. Hopefully I’ve identified the correct part :o\ Version 1 – wrong! Version 2 – correct!
