You must have a DVD player wich supports VCD / super VCD format. Most of newer players support this format, but some older and brands do not. See your DVD player manual to know whether it supports VCD / super VCD format or not. If you dont have the manual, you can also check it from VideoHelp.com DVD Player database. First, you need to know the exact brand and model of your DVD player, usually it can be found on the back or bottom of the player. Visit the above link, then search your DVD player. For example: Sony NS305 You see that it supports VCD and SVCD. Another example: Sony DAV-5300 It does not support SVCD. Then you can not play SVCD using this DVD player. Consider to burn into DVD movie because it is now widely supported and more superior in terms of quality.
