Re: [VCDImager] SVCDs not being created correctly

[Michael]

I'm suffering this problem now I think. All the vcd images I make play
fine with Xine or MPlayer but if I burn them to disc they won't play on my
DVD player, in Xine, or MPlayer. They're all scrambled. Did you ever
figure out the problem? I've tried standard VCD2 and SVCD and neither
works for me. As far as I can tell everything is to the standard. Any
help? Thanks.


Peace, Love, Linux
