Is svcd backwards compatible with vcd?

[FleshLight]

If a dvd player supports vcd, does that mean it supports svcd too? I have this old ghetto toshiba sd k710 and it won't play this svcd I recently burned. Now I'm new to the whole vcd scene and I think I probably did something wrong.

I encoded it as svcd in tmpgenc, burned it as an svcd in nero 6.6, nero confirmed it, and then I popped it in my dvd player.

No, Svcd is never than Vcd, and therefore you would need equipment for decoding svcd.

according to this site, the sd k710 does not support svcd

Er.......the "S" stands for "super".




So just like a CDROM drive won't play a DVD, a player that only reads VCD won't read a SVCD.

However, a DVD drive will read a CDROM, and player that supports SVCD will play a VCD.
