I have burned 2 VCD's using FUJI 48x CD-R media and 1 using Memorec CD-RW. None of them will play in my standalone DVD player. It is VCD capable, and in the display I can even see the darkened out "MPEG". The player highlights type of disc then highlights file type. Why won't they play. Yess they are VCD's not SVCD's...

Could it be that your standalone doesnt play "standard" vcds and you might need to switch to nonstandard compliance when burning? Dunno really, just a shot in the dark....

What would a non-standard be compared to standard. That could be it because this dvd player was bought right when dvd's started to come out, so its one of the first ones.
By "non-standard compliance" I mean, under Nero for burning (S)VCDs you can set other options if you click the "Enable non-standard compliance" or something like that.
Do the discs play fine under another standalone DVD player?
