So why do you not tell us what kind of dvd standalone you have?

VCD stores MPEG1 material, SVCD stores MPEG2 material (same format as on DVD). Because MPEG2 is more efficient then MPEG1 you can store more data on a SVCD. But of course MPEG2 is harder to decode, uses more CPU time and has higher memory consumption, so hardware requierements are higher in general. Concerning standalones this shouldn't matter, but most of the time SVCD is not implemented correctly by the manifacturer. So it's more a 'software problem' then a HW one on standalones (which can maybe be fixed with a firmware/BIOS update)

Sry, I'm no native speaker - I only know that the term is 'DVD standalone' in english. It's this sort of hardware that you connect to your TV, to watch DVDs, Digital Audio, etc. - You plug it in, insert disc and lean back to enjoy the show.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

For me a 'DVD player' is software to watch DVDs, something like VLC, mplayer, PowerDVD, WinDVD, etc. - I always use the term standalone to indicate I mean the hardware device. And a quick search with google reveals that the term is not only used by me.
