1. ATI softwares (DVD player & VCD player) do not support SVCD.

2. Try to play the SVCD with a SVCD players or a DVD Player that will support SVCD instead...something like PowerDVD.

3. I just failed to understand why people want to make VCD/SVCD and play it back on computers? when there are stand alone players that will handle that. If just plain play back on computers, then why just leave it as it in its native format and burn them as data instead? Why go to all the trouble of encoding to the best possible quality with tight specifications and then play it back on the computer? why waste the time for this????
