I can't seem to play my newly created VCD on my DVP-s550D player. I have a functional VCD that I have played on my DVD Player, and followed these instructions from an earlier post to burn it onto a CD-R:

1. Use Nero 5.5.9.0 as follows
A. Open Nero
B. Clik on Nero Express
C. Enter Nero Express
D. From the "File" menu selcet "New"
E. Use the wizard and navigate to VCD (note: use "Other Compilation" to get there
F. Using the File directory tree on the right open the folder containing the DAT file.
G. Drag the DAT file into the left side of the window under "Track"
H. Nero will analyse the file
I. Upon Completion you are now ready to Burn
J. From the "file" menu select "write CD"

I even tried changing the write speed to 2x and 4x.

The newly created VCD works fine on my PC using WinDVD, but my DVD player doesnt recognize the disk.

Could it be that my DVD player doesnt recognize CD-R's but will recognize VCD's? That doesnt make sense to me...

OR

Could it be that NERO isnt encoding it correctly, and I need to convert the DAT file into MPEG1 and reconvert it back to DAT?? That doesnt make sense either...

help please!

By the way, I havent registered Nero yet, nor have I tried Nero Burning Rom, which people say is easier and fool proof.

Thanks for your help!
