text: i burned a video cd from the internet ,  can only view it from the computer and not the dvd player   anyone kn   it should play in either vcd player and dvd player if it is burnt as video cd.  i assume you did not burn it to be a vcd, you just picked the video files from your computer and burned them onto the cd right away.  making it a data cd rather vcd.  vcd has a standard fromat. it has some folders like, cdi, mpegav, segment, vcd, etc. check if your cd contains all these or such folders, if yes, its a vcd and it should run, if no so, then its a simple data cd which is not recognizable on vcd/dvd players.
