[VCDImager Bugs/Devel] VCDImager lost compatibility with Window Media Player during transition 0.6.2 --> 0.7.10

[Monika Schilling]

Hello,


Windows Media Player is capable to play VCDs. You just have to open the 
corresponding AVSEQ<nn>.DAT file in the MPEGAV directory.

VCDs authored with vcdimager 0.6.2 and burned with cdrdao 1.1.5 play fine with 
Windows Media Player.

Using vcdimager or vcdxbuild 0.7.10 and again cdrdao 1.1.5 results in a disk 
which is not playable with Windows Media Player. I get the error message: 
"Could not find a filter for rendering the input data".
On the other hand the VCD is still playable with the software player WinDVD 2.3 
and the hardware decoder RealMagic Hollywood Plus.

I used the precompiled Win32 binaries downloaded from the Bleeding Edge page on 
my Windows 2000 machine.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Thank you for VCDImager.
