Hi all,

Is there an easy way to convert a svcd to a vcd?  I have some svcd files that will not play correctly in my dvd player. I know that it plays vcds very well.  right now i am using mpeg tools in tpgenc to multiplex it then running it back through and making a vcd from it.  for some reason tmpg sorta freezes if i try to load the svcd mpg without multiplexing it first.

thanks

Hmmm...I haven't tried that conversion before.  You can try the "VCD Trick" to see if that works on your player in the first place...

Link #2 for the "VCD Header Trick:"

You can convert the SVCD to DivX then start over again to VCD...

Here's a couple pages from VCDHelp.com's site on it:
