A better newsgroup for your post is rec.video.desktop.

Your CD player has video outputs? If so, it probably needs MPEG-1 format
(VCD).

Stand-alone DVD players usually support VCD (VideoCD) and
SVCD (SuperVideoCD) formats. You should check your player's
specifications to be sure. VCDs and SVCDs are disk formats,
not just file formats (VCD uses MPEG1 and SVCD uses MPEG2
like DVDs). CD-burning programs like Nero can create both
from VCD/SVCD-compliant MPEG files (create with other
MPEG1/2 encoders) and even encode them from other formats,
like AVI.

You should read the guides on www.vcdhelp.com.
