There was a thread "standard SVCD cannot be played" from late last year on problems with certain DVD players not being able to play SVCDs properly; I am unlucky enough to have one of these beasts (a cheap Panasonic 5-disc player). It plays VCDs (created in Kino on Linux) just fine in all their low-res glory, but standard SVCDs are very jerky, almost half-speed, as described by others on this list.
I found the following link, which suggested a workaround. I am not using vcdeasy (or Windows) so haven't tried it: http://www.vcdeasy.org/modules.php?name=_Guides&id=VcdTrick As far as I can gather from that page, you should be able to get SVCD/MPEG-2 quality video, but you would be limited to MPEG-1 features. Does anyone know precisely what this is doing?? And, assuming it is actually a good way to get SVCD's to work on defective DVD players, could the same thing be accomplished using mjpeg-tools (mplex??)? I am an absolute rank amateur at this, having only created a couple of VCDs in Kino, and I haven't got brave enough to actually change any of the standard options, so I really know nothing of mjpegtools. I had a look at the documentation on creating SVCDs and couldn't figure out how to do this header swap (if it is indeed possible, or adviseable). What I am looking for is what options to pass to mjpegtools in the export dialogue in Kino to achieve this.
