XSVCD usually takes out the blockyness.As for best format for your DVD player,I would say whatever works the best.
I use SEVCD,SXVCD,XSVCD,SVCD,VCD so the choice is yours.Some DVD players dont play certain formats.

thanks crazy for that i will look it up the XSVCD that is and yea i know alot of dvd players dont work but it works with the other 75 or so vcd's i got so i assume it should the only problem i can think of is this vcd was never region coded at all dont know if that would cause the v-hold acting problem or not but if changing formats works than i will assume it was just a problem with a coding or something like that anyother ideas fell free to let me know and thanks again

Just a quick hint, please use SOME sort of grammar as its very hard to understand what you are asking for! just splitting it up into sentances will help a lot.

As for region encoding.. vcds don't HAVE region encoding, so it will have nothing to do with that. And its fairly unlikely your DVD player will play XSVCD unless its a far eastern model. Best to check vcdhelper.com/vcdhelp.com (its the same page) and see what your player is capable of playing first.

Out of interest crazy, what player do you have, as thats a hella lotta formats it can handle !!
