I'm trying to make a vcd that will play in a portable player (a bottom of the range rip off from asia). I have tried with loads of different software and none of it works, the cd is not recognised by the player. I've come to the conclusion that the cd-r i'm using is no good for this particular player. The ATIP info is
ATIP: 97m 23s 61f
Disc Manufacturer: Customer Pressing Oosterhout
Reflective layer: Dye (Long strategy; e.g. Cyanine, Azo etc.)
Media type: CD-Recordable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f / LBA: 359849).

I have another vcd made a while ago using same software, and it does work with the portable, the ATIP info for this one is:
ATIP: 97m 34s 21f
Disc Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Chemicals Corp.
Reflective layer: Dye (Long strategy; e.g. Cyanine, Azo etc.)
Media type: CD-Recordable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f / LBA: 359849)

Does anyone have any experience with what is best for portable VCD player?

Thanks

Most Cd types will be OK for VCD, with rare exceptions on very cheap media (which it looks like you've experinced). To get the best result burn the VCD at no more than 4x.

Customer Pressing Oosterhout -- shudder!

If your portable VCD Player (Burnstar?) is fussy, then anything Mitsubishi Chemicals, TY, or Mitsui should be alright.

Sometimes these things have very wierd tendancy's though, and I would advise that being as you have had success with Mitsubishi's, to stick with them ;)

A friend has a Burnstar that wont play original VCD's (antique roadshow, here we come), but will play ones from a CDR. Hmmmm...

Cant see burn speed affecting this (unless your media is certified at 48x, but only works well up to 24x)... But I suspect you have Verbatim Discs, and they are good up to whatever speed they are certified for.
