I recently obtained a VCD of a particular movie and I am having trouble playing it. I was told it should work on my DVD player and when I tried it on my laptop and it played fine. Unfortunately, when I put the disc in the DVD player at home, the display reads NO DISC and it don't work for shit.

Any ideas on what the hell I should do? I really want to check this damn thing out and i would greatly appreciate any assistnce.

It sounds like your DVD player doesn't read VCD's. How old is it? I have two players - one is almost 2 years old (and doesn't play them) the other I got this past Christmas (and it does play them). You might have an option menu in your DVD player that you might be able to access to turn the VCD option "on", but chances are you won't be able to change it.

The time is short, time, that's all right
Maybe I'll go out in the middle of the night,
And take your hand, look in your eyes, my love
All good things must come to an end sometime

As Whackbag said, go to vcdhelp.com
look closely; some standalone vcd players can read one color cd-r and not others, or can read cd-rw but not cd-r.

Also remember vcd is different than svcd.

On a semi related note, I got an iso of a svcd- if I try to burn with Nero, it looks ok but the mpg won't play; if I use isobuster to extract the mpg it plays fine. any clues?

Thanks. I just saw it doesn't play CDRs, which pisses me off. Oh well, I wanted a new player anyway and I guess now is as good a time as any.

If you're getting a new player, try to get one that plays MP3's as well - you can burn a CD-R full of hours and hours of music and play them through your stereo. It makes for a really inexpensive jukebox :-D

Get the APEX model # AD-1200 @ Circuit City for 64.99.

It plays CD/DVD/CD-R/CD-RW/VCD/Kodak Picture CD/JPEG (Readable) / & MP3 with DTS & RCA or S-Video Out.

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?
