Hello. I was just wondering if I could play my vcd's that i burned on cdr or cdrw. It says that it can't play the disk. Is there a certain type of brand of cdr or cdrw that will work on my samsung dvd-m101? Please help me!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, GREG

Hi Greg, Video CDs you made using CD-R will not play on your player unless the player is specifically designed to play them...there are players that are coming out to play them. Sounds like your current player won't do it. I recently played a CD-R in a shop on a DVD player that supports CD-R. Nice!!! You may also want to consider getting a player that is multi-region, or region free.

Most DVD players that can't read CD-R can read certain brand CD-RW. I found that Mr. Write CD-RW can be read by most DVD players.

Greg,

Don't know if you're already aware, but there's a great site www.vcdhelper.com with a ton of information on all aspects of hobby vcd making. There's a dvd player compatibility list there, and according to it, your player will not play cdr, but will play cdrw's. Someone specifically mentioned Memorex as working well, I think. You should go there and check it out.

Hope this helps,

My DVD player does not play VCD's but i found a code that my friend told me. When the disc is loading press "go to" on your remote as fast as you can untill a box on the top left hand corner apperas saying track:__-__ Time:__-__ and something else. if it says this as fast as you can press 0(zero) then play.it works on my DVD player and all of my mates.

Yes i have heard about those special codes also, question is can you download the code onto cd-r/vcd and then just put it into your dvd player? surely if it doesn't play them then this wont work? and if it did play them then why would you need the code cd in the first place? , where would one get a code like this from?

jus search for a code using ur remote for ur dvd player, and put it in e.g. go to - press 4 times and it plays the vcd. jus search for your model dvd player in google or sumink and find a code which makes u play ur vcd. hav fun
