Need step by step instruction on how to create a svcd from my mpeg on a cd-r

i have converted several files i got off the internet into mpeg. i am burning them on cd-rw but they will not play on my stand alone player. i can't get them to play on my pc. when i burn them as a data file i can play them on my pc. what have i create and why i can't burn them to play on my home dvd player. i used nero software to burn then i switch to recordnow with the same result.How can i burn a successful svcd using my existing files.___X_X_X_X_X_[small]clifwillno[/small]

 

yeah also does your player support cdrw. my old player never used to so i upgraded and it works fine now. my new player is sweeeet, it plays everything and looks great, anyway, im going off subject, my point was (not how much i love my player lol ) just check yours supports cdrw. your pc should play it in powerdvd, or as dela says, you can simply open the dat file to play it.
hope it helps
