    help needed here in the UK

    Hi guys

    My father has just bought a dvd player from Safeways here in the UK, I know it begins with an M the make, but what I am not sure. I have tried looking for the Safeways web site but can't find it either. Anyway, the problem is it says it will play cdr/rw and vcd/svcd, but it won't play my copies of vcd's.

    It just keeps coming up with unknown disc??? The vcd's work perfectly in my dvd player, and a copied music cd plays fine in my father's, but not the vcd.

    Does anyone have any ideas, he bought it whilst away in my aunties which is over 200 miles away, so it is a long way to take it back, and he bought it thinking he could borrow my collection of vcd's, but I am lost.

    Thanks

    Scarlet

    Many standalone DVD players are finicky about which BRAND(S) of CD-R they will recognize.

    When you've gotten the name and model number of the standalone player, go to the following site to possibly find out more:



    Video forums, video software downloads, guides, blu-ray players and media.
