Can I play SVCD on Phillips 711?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I can play regular VCDs that I've burned with EZ CD Creator on my Phillips 711, but the res is a tich disappointing. Does anyone know if this DVD player will play SVCD's? If not I might trade it in on a Raite that is advertized to play the SVCDs. Thanks

I have a Phillips 718 (which I think is the Australian version of the 711) and SVCD is recognised in the DVD splash screen and the disk plays OK.

I run SVCD's on my Pillips 711. It was kinda tricky. You need to adhere to the 480x480 SVCD standard and burn your video to CD with Nero 5.x+. You should try and use RW's since their will be some trial and error. I had no luck with SVCD and EZ CD Creator.

Hope this helps Warren
