    Is there a way to convert VCD or SVCDs into DVD format and write it to normal CD that a DVD player can read?

    What Would be the Point???The only Reason I could see for wanting to do this is if your DVD Player did not play VCD or SVCD, In which case it would Probably not read CD-r either..Well to your Question "No" you can not burn Movies in DVD format on to CD-R and have them play in a Regular DVD Player...You can Burn VCD"s and SVCD"s to DVD without re-encodeing them which works Quite well...Cheers

    There are various reason one might want to put DVD data on a CD, but I won't get into that.

    So, if you had a very small amount of movies, but still wanted to have a DVD menu, would a DVD player be able to read the xml or whatever to play it off of a CD?

    Ex.: you have a dvd disk that has only 500 mb of data on it. If it burned to a CD, would a DVD player still be able to read it like a DVD?

    DVD on CD-R is Called "MiniDVD" and there are Very Very Few Players that will Play this Format and you will only get about 20 minutes on a CD-R but the Bitrate would be so high that even if the Player was able to read the Structure chances are it would Choke on the Extremely High Bitrate as Most DVD Players can not spin a CD-R fast enought to read DVD Bitrates....Cheers
