| For free video tools there is for VCD. It doesn't support disc swapping - you have to burn the player onto the same disc as the movie - and it doesn't support VCD bitrates. You'll need to stick to 700-800 kb/s to get full frame rate. Then there is <a href="http://www.consolevision.com/dreamcast/multimedia/divxdc.shtml">DCDivx for your divx needs. This one doesn't support resolutions higher than 400x400 (or something like that) and you'll need to keep the bitrate to around 400kb/s to make it viewable. It also supports mp3 sound. Commercially, there is Dream VCD. This suppports full res/bitrate VCD, disc swapping and some versions come with a cheap-o remote control. You have to be careful with this one as there seem to be two versions - one works well , the other barely works and I'm not sure which is which. | |||

| I think that the DreamMovie VCD/MP3 Player with Remote Control does support VCD as well as some kinds of SVCD. IT's not free however but can be purchased for $20 at www.lik-sang.com... I think. | |||

| Nothing I've seen indicates that it supports SVCD, however it probably supports XVCD which is basically VCD at a higher resolution and bitrate, but still mpeg1. | |||
