Only the first two formats can be played on a stand alone DVD player. Even then not all DVD players will play VCD or SVCD but most modern ones should.

Roxio EZCD 6 or Pinnacle studio can create such CD's


Hope this answers your question
Thanks. From what you say, at least I won't be wasting my time if I look further into it. 60 minutes would be more than long enough and even 20 minutes would be useful.
