Ah, it's an SVCD.

Your DVD player doesn't support SVCD right off. Mine doesn't.

Here's the solution!

Using ISObuster, extract the MPEG files from the bin files to the HDD.

Download a program called TMPGEnc by Pegasus Software and open up the MPEG tools section in the files menu.

Go to the Multiplex tab, and select the video, set the output to something like: AVSEQ001_FIXED.mpeg.

The most important part is to select MPEG-1 VIDEO CD.

Run the process (only takes a few minutes per disc). It will give you a buffer overflow error at the end of the process, ignore it. It's still OK.

Using NERO, go back in and create a new VCD project (not SVCD). Drag and drop the first file, and tell it to turn off standard compliance and continue.

Repeat the process for each disc.

What you have effectively done is tricking your DVD player into thinking it's playing a VCD, when in actuality, it's an SVCD. I have to use this trick on my DVD player (Panasonic RV-32) to get SVCDs working.


It's not because it's PAL, it's not because it's the wrong FPS, it's not because it's not an MPEG file (It wouldn't have played at all, Mmonnin), it's not because the bitrate is too high (SVCDs can play up to 2600 kbits, and DVDs are MPEG2 (Like SVCD) at an even higher bitrate in both audio and video).

It's simply because DVD player companies often enjoy blocking SVCD playback because they know it's the most common format used for pirating film (Because it has such nice audio, and high quality video). They leave VCD intact (If it's not a pathetic Sony player) because it's crappy and rarely used.

The trick simply is rewriting the information header on the file from SVCD to VCD, effectively telling the DVD player that it's using a VCD. As far as the structure of the CD is concerned, it really is a VCD! But the files inside aren't. It just knows it's capable of decoding it and playing it back...So it does.
