I currently have a 50 pack of those white Memorex CD-R 80 min, 700 MB. I am wondering if there is a certain kind of CD-R that must be used to burn VCDs. Can all CD-Rs be used for VCD burning? Will these memorex work?
It depends totally on your stand-alone DVD player. Some players are picky with the CDs that they accept, but in any case, the VCD is burned on the CD in exact same way, whatever the CDR brand is. The reason why some stand-alone DVD players are so picky with CDs is that they have just one laser that reads the discs and as DVDs and CDs are read in pretty different way (different light wave-lengths), certain CDs don't have the wave-length (the laser beams the disc and light comes back in certain wave-length) that the specific DVD player could read. This is also the reason why CDRW discs normally don't work, because their wave-length is different than CDR's.
