        I highly recommend the Philips DVD players - so far they have
        played everything including generic MPEG-2 placed on either
        CD or DVD recordable (and rewriteable) media.   Very inexpensive
        units but have outperformed much more expensive players.

        The problem I see with that approach is that SVCDs (and VCDs)
        use mode 2 form 2 sectors which are larger than the 2KB sectors
        that DVD media supports.   I do not believe it is possible to
        create DVDs using the SVCD format (that was something I wanted to
        do but it does not appear as if the media or recorders support
        M2F2 sectors with DVD media).


        Good Luck!
