Need more info.

Which program? What happens when you try to place a SVCD?

i haven't gotten it to successfully play it straight from the CD either...

if you copy the MPEG file from the CD onto your HD, then open that file directly from vlc, it should work though.

I've gotten it to work.....I wish I had the program in front of me, I'm just at work right now...From what I remember its an option you have to choose on the menubar...I think, "Play Movie"?....Anyways there is an option in that window that will let you choose to play a DVD or a VCD...Select the VCD and then go to "OK" It should automatically start playing the VCD Disc.

okay, i am using v0.2.92. I loaded the svcd, then the program. The only option I have in the menu is to "file>open>open file" I tried opening the files on the cd but with no luck....

Has anyone else got it working yet?

Go to the File Menu Bar and select "Open Disc"....In the new window that appears, under "Type" select VCD and hit OK. Make sure you have the VCD in the Drive at the time....Thats how I got it to work...
Hope that helps
