Cannot Play VCD

[rotello]

I am trying to play a VCD through SageTV. The VCD was created in Nero. I am able to play the VCD in Windows Media Player 10, Intervideo WinDVD 2000, and Divx 6 with no problems. However, SageTV does not recognize the VCD as a DVD or a video file. I've added .dat to the sagetv.properties file while sagetv was shut down so that the seeker video line looks like this:

seeker/video_library_import_filename_extensions=.mpg,.mpeg,.mp2,.mpeg2,.mpe,
.avi,.divx,.mpg1,.ts,.dat

After doing that and making sure that the change in the file was saved and not overwritten, SageTV still doesnt recognize the VCD.

Here are my Video settings:
Video Render - Overlay
MPEG2 Video Decoder Filter - SageTV MPEG Decoder Filter
DVXA MPEG Mode - Default
DXVA Deinterlacing - Default
DScalar Deinterlacing Filter - Disabled

Here are my DVD Settings:
DVD-ROM Drive - Yes
DVD Video Render - Overlay
All the rest of the settings are set to default

Thanks for your help,
Rotello

AFAIK, SageTV does not, sadly support the following formats: VCD, SVCD, CVD, or any of the variants (eg xVCD).

SageTV only supports the DVD format.

I remember asking the same question last year... My fix was to copy the .mpg file to a import folder and play them that way. Good luck!
