    Instead of using DVD software like DVD2One and others like it, can't you just use DVD2SVCD and burn it on a DVD instead of a cd. I have been using 99min CD's for it.

    And if so, would it still work in my APEX DVD player on my TV. Or do think I would confuse the H@ll out of it.

    Thanks

    Some DVD players will recognize it and some won't look for anything but DVD titles on DVD media. Since it's an APEX there's a good chance it would work fine, but you probably won't be able to find out without trying it yourself. It's kind of like figuring out whether miniDVD is supported. Very few people want to do it, so it's hard to find any useful second hand information.

    So you want to Put SVCD on a DVD??? Yes it is Possible Because I have backed up My whole 400 SVCD Collection to DVD-R and they all worked Fine but they aren"t considered SVCD"s But non-Standard DVD"s, so you have to have DVD compliant Audio...The best program for SVCD on DVD is called "DVD-Lab"...Cheers
