greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

Hello sir,

I have PHILLIPS CDI-220 and I used Nero burning 5 to burn vcd. Some movie i burned play well and some just play a partial of it and it stopped. I wonder why? Do i have to check anything off or on while me burning the vcd or i need EZ creator 5? I'm watching teh fast and furious now and it play fine but not american pie 2.

Can you help me, i have a lot of burned vcd. I can't afford to buy dvdplayer that why.

Hi, i had the same problem with a philips cdi 210. I was told that i was to do with the way the overscanning, philips cdi will only scan it once, but a dvd player will scan it at least 5 times. so if there is the slightest blip on the cd, the cdi will crach straight away. If you want a good but cheap dvd. buy a wharfdale 750. They are 179 from teasco's or buy the loot and pick up a second hand one. i have got one and its brill!!!!

It's simple. You need a FMV (Full Motion Video) cartridge in your CD1 player. CDi players can play VCD, but VCD player can't play CDi. And they're is a difference. VCD is a "white book" specification and is formatted in a particular way with particular bit rates. I do not know where you'd find the FMV cartridge.

You need indeed a CD1 video cartridge to be able to play VCD's. It works fine when using CD-r's, but it is very picky about CD-rw's. I use a CDi-210. The 220 should not give any other result.

You can buy a cartridge at: https://www.mcno.com/mcno/ihar.shtml Watch the type, there are two versions.

A lot of CDi -nformation is to be found at: http://www.icdia.org/

I also Own a Philips CDI-210 and I have exactly the same problem. even with my originals (yes Originals Not Pirate Silvers) I think that the problem is that like some1 earlier said if it comes accross an error and just haults and goes back to the menu.

unless there is a way to replace the laser Units in these I dont think we are going to fix the problem. personaly I think they are a shitty design.

BULLSHIT, in 1 hour i had made a non-cdi compatible vcd into a fully working version that was 100% compatible with my CDI 201 player.

I used nero to turn it into a vcd

at first i kept getting error message in nero (invalid stream for cdi 2.0 compatible vcd)

all i did to rectify this was to take it into tmpg encoder and went to File -> VCD TOOLS, then simple multiplex, choose input file, and select MPEG-1 VCD from the scroll bar.
