Page 1 of Problem playing VCD on Philips DVD711

Hi all!

I have just tried to play a VCD on my Philips DVD player. This VCD is burnt on BASF CD-R in 4x speed. After 22 min and x seconds the VCD movie just stops and then the DVD player goes back to the initial screen after a short while. This has happend two times in a row now!

The movie plays fine on my PC without stopping at the 22 min mark.

One more thing I have noticed when playing VCDs are that it is not possible to fastforward the movie on my DVD player. I have seen somewhere someone mentioning this problem before but can`t remember if there where a fix for it or not.

Pleas help!!! I would like to use my expensive new homecinema equipment to watch this VCD instead of having to watch it on my PC!

Tanx in advance!

Please tell me if you found the cause or a solution for this problem ?

I have the same problems with my Philips DVD707 ...

With an original videocd there are no problems and fastforward run!

I think there are some compatibility problems with the video stream format! What do you thing about this ?

You can give me an answer in my mailbox : siamuag[at]moc.euqiglebi

thanks!

i have the same player and have had no problems whatsoever playing vcds whether theyre copied or originals. whether the fact that my player has been chipped has any bearing on this im not sure.....

VCD are working fine now... after installing the 7.22 software... but now I`m having problems with SVCD. It plays fine for a while on all movies I have but after a while (different while on different movies) it start jerking and haning the picture sometimes it hangs so bad the player start all over again with the movie... also Fast Forward isn`t working with SVCD`s...

I had a philips player and experienced the same problems when playing dvds, although i didnt notice a problem with fast forward on the ones that did play. I found that some vcds wouldnt play at all or some froze and pixellated. Most were copies, although some originals were very temperamental. I even experienced a few dvd`s which froze and pixellated, had poor layer changes etc.
I really had problems with this player although others say they have no problems at all which is odd because i had 2 of them brand new and both suffered with the same problems.
