CD-R VCD not playable

[cyberttc]

I made a copy of my VCD using CD-R disc. But my SONY VCD player can't play it. Why?

The new sonys dvd players are really particular of what will play in their dvd players. Pretty much anything thats not an original anything won;t play in them

OR

If your using an LITEON burner its cause you need to update your firmware from their site.

CD-RW discs are actually more compatable with set-top DVD players than CD-R's. The surface layer of a CDRW is similar to a DVD. I use my rig as a TIVO box and once a week, I take all the shows I recorded automatically, dump them on a CDRW and watch them on my trusty Apex set top player. Hope this helps. For a lot of info on VCD's, check out VCD Helper.

Some players prefer a particular type or color of rewriteable format. Check the brand and color of the CD-R that worked, and buy some of those type of CD-R's for burning your VCD's. Some players like blue, some like silver, some will only take CD-RW, some will take all colors of CD-R, etc.
