I was reading on the website that the avic n1 can play video cds, I made a vcd but when it put it in the radio it said non playable disc. Does it play them or not? anyone have this problem?

thanks

LudeBoi- Does that mean you've been able to play VCDs in your N1?

Ok guys i have a lil info. This player does play vcds but they dont work if burned onto a cd-r they definitely work using dvd-r and dvd-rw. A friend of mine that works at pioneer said he heard that if you use a cdrw that it may work also I cant try this method right now cause my burner is fried. =( if anyone can try this and let us know it would greatly appreciated. I also included a alternate burn method for cd-r and cd-rw if it doesnt work

First, make a normal MPEG-2 file (for example with TMPGEnc using its SVCD-templates). You normally only have to add this file to VCDEasy in order to create a SVCD 1.0... But this is exactly what some home players can't play... The idea is to use the MPEG-tools in TMPGEnc to multiplex this MPEG2 file for SVCD (with a "MPEG-2 Super VideoCD [VBR]" header) again but this time just with a different header (the "MPEG-1 VideoCD [non standard]" header). If the multiplexing is done right , VCDEasy will recognize the file as a MPEG-1 video file, you then will be able to create a VCD 2.0 (with a MPEG2 file in fact... hoping your player will be able to play it...). Note that PowerDVD will recognize this file as MPEG-2 file (while playing, do a right click on the video, choose "Show information" in the pop-up menu )

Also, not all home players can play VCD's like this. But mine (JVC XV-521BK) does, while it can not play SVCDs.

Start TMPGEnc, and close the wizard if there is one.

Select "MPEG Tools" in the "Files" menu.

Select the "Multiplex" tabbed page

Click on "Add" to open your file-browser and then select your MPEG2 file

You should then have something like this

You can see here the video stream, and the audio stream

Note that "MPEG-2 Program(VBR)" is selected in the "Type" drop down list. This is the original header of this file... And this is what we have to change...

Choose "MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard)" in this "Type" drop down list

Be sure to have "MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard)" selected

Click "Browse" to set the output file name
avic n1 vcd -- posted image.
Hit "Run"... and wait!

avic n1 vcd -- posted image.

That's it! You have now created a fake VCD MPEG-1 file from a SVCD MPEG-2 file.

With VCDEasy's "MPEG Tools" page:

Before

avic n1 vcd -- posted image.

After

avic n1 vcd -- posted image.

Now you can proceed as writen in the " How to make your first VideoCD" guide.

If you are lucky you can play VCD with the quality of a SVCD, which is normaly much better.

Note that, during authoring, you can use the VCD2.0 features, but not the SVCD ones (for example: selectable subtitles & audio).

For some home DVD players, you should use "MPEG-1 Video-CD" instead of "MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard)" as header... even if this "VCD-Header trick" is something "non-standard" !
