I made a copy of a film into VCD and put it in my DVD
player to watch. Nothing happened. Does the DVD player have to be able to read VCD? or did i do domething wrong prior? Can you buy DVD players with VCD capability or is there a way around this? BTW i put the VCD file onto a CD-RW cd which the DVD player said it can take?

All DVD players have an MPEG-2 decoder which is capable of playing VCDs, but it's up to the player's BIOS to actually make it possible. It's a common feature, but not guaranteed. If the player's manual doesn't say anything about VCD (and many times even when they play them the manual doesn't say) you could try looking up your player here:

Personally, I have 2 DVD players and neither of them will play VCDs. One of them is an Apex 1010W, of which most will play VCDs, but they didn't add support for them until after mine was made.
