VCD's

[DustyWolfe]

I just spent way too much money on a series of Anime vcd's on ebay. I got them today and I can't get them to work on my computer at all. ANd when I put them in my dvd player it says incorrect disk. Any suggestions? btw I don't have the money right now to go buy some sort of program to decode it either.

AFAIK only certain DVD players (mostly first generation_ play VCDs as they never really caught on... (Well there is piracy^H^H^H^H^H^H net ditribution) The only hope would be to check for new drivers for your DVD computer drive.

Thanks sexy-girl. Great to see you again


Piracy? I was told by a friend that lives in Japan that they don't have copyright laws and that is why this isn't piracy. It's why they can be sold on ebay.

Well.. Number one, I wasn't accusing you of piracy.
Two, They do have that kind of law
three, you can sell anything on ebay as long as you don't get caught, souls, internal organs and murder contracts included.

Weird...are you sure your DVD player and your computer is compatable of playing VCD's?

Btw, which anime's you get?

 

[Spinaroonie]

If your computer recognizes the disk and sees the files on them then you could try using a ripper and convert them to DiVX ;-) or Mpeg.

Ummm.. yes I could convert but I will have to do a lot of reading. I have no clue when it comes to stuff like this. My expertise lie in other areas lol.

Ummm do I have to have a cd-r to do that?

I was under the impression that DVD's were encoded for specific markets, and if you have a DVD from a foreign zone, it will only be read by a player made for that zone.

You have to have a computer. You'd have to rip the file to your harddrive.

That's for DVD, VCDs don't do that.

Hey great to see you, it's been awhile. I pretty much just lurk on this board these days. Most of my posting is in the SRP and BDSM forums. And other than that I've been posting to the other place which you have been missed at.

try downloading a DIVX decoder program. www.webattack.com/freeware has a whole bunch of them for free. Install that and that may fix your problems.
