----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Jan 11, 2004 3:49 pm .VCD format ----------------------------------- My friend burned me a DVD. It's a .VCD format CD and it should run on a DVD player, but when I put it in it says no play. Anyone know what I should do? ----------------------------------- Hunter007 Sun Jan 11, 2004 4:22 pm ----------------------------------- Your dvd player either does not support VCD's or burnt cd's. If it does play both then your friend screwed up while he was burning it. ----------------------------------- poly Sun Jan 11, 2004 4:34 pm ----------------------------------- Your dvd player either does not support VCD's or burnt cd's.

Check the box/manual of your dvd player (even website if the company has a product page) if it says it cant play the format than you cant. ----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Jan 11, 2004 4:37 pm ----------------------------------- Thanks for the help. ----------------------------------- poly Sun Jan 11, 2004 4:48 pm ----------------------------------- out of curiosity, what movie? ----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Jan 11, 2004 4:57 pm ----------------------------------- Brianna Loves Jenna. lol ----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Jan 11, 2004 4:59 pm ----------------------------------- Shit, I don't think my DVD player can play this.

Throw the cd up in the air (while somebody films it) so it smashes on the ground. Keep doing that until you break the cd into hundreds of bits or until the guy holding the camera leaves. If you dont a a video camera just take some photos of the cd before and after shots and if you dont have a digital camera I outta ki....think calmness, think calmness..... well than just ignore this whole damn thing ----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Jan 11, 2004 5:11 pm ----------------------------------- What the Fu*k are you talking about? ----------------------------------- poly Sun Jan 11, 2004 5:14 pm ----------------------------------- well im saying you need to take the cd that you burned the dvd on and smash it if it cant be played on your dvd player ----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Jan 11, 2004 5:21 pm ----------------------------------- Oh I gotcha. ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 11, 2004 8:16 pm ----------------------------------- if you need a player that supports every format that is common to movies ( not divX) the nget an apex the thing is that the cheaper hte player the movre media it plays , because some spends millions on htere anti piracy and their on dvd , dvd pl;ayers but a company like norcent and apex who just awanna make some money have no security chips in their products i paid 60 for mine at walmart , and it wplayes every format ( VCD,SVCD,XVCD,XVID,DVD,MP3,WMA,WMV,CD,CD-A,) AND EVERY MEDIA FORMAT ASWELL ( CR-R ,CD-RW,DVD-R,DVD+R,DVD-RW,DVD+RW) obviously it dosent support dvd-ram BUT THERE YA GO ----------------------------------- naoki Sun Jan 11, 2004 9:18 pm ----------------------------------- Brianna Loves Jenna. lol meh, i've seen better. the pro pr0nst*r stuff isn't as good as you think :lol: btw ... upload pls :P ----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Jan 11, 2004 10:07 pm ----------------------------------- Brianna Loves Jenna. lol meh, i've seen better. the pro pr0nst*r stuff isn't as good as you think :lol: btw ... upload pls :P lol.
