Hi, is there a way of making a vcd that is on a cd-r or cd-rw play on a dvd player without the dvd player being compatible with cd-r or cd-rw disk's. Is there a code you can put in so that it will work on any dvd player. Cause i bought a vcd that was copied onto a cd-r and i was able to play this on my dvd player how is this possible if the dvd player can't play cd-r or cd-rw media, is there a code you can put on the disk so that the dvd player can play them..?

This is not possible. The reason the CD-R plays on your DVD player is quite simply that your DVD player supports CD-R media. There is nothing you can do if a DVD player doesn't support CD-R media. It's a very complicated technical issue, but it has to do with the fact that players that support CD-R have a second laser beam dedicated to playing CD-R and CD-RW discs and players that lack a second laser do not play these discs.
