I just got a vcd thru the post, orig, by Philips - Annie Hall (woody allen).

I have tried it on win dvd, it plays but no menus or chapter stops - is this cos you only get these options on a the Philips CD-I player?

What about on my dvd player at home - will it be the same? its VCD compatible.

If so then getting any other VCDs is not a high priority at all.

I dont (or didn't) mind gettting some VCDs cos they are cheap and good quality - but without chapter options? Nah

Anyone shed any light please!

Well only SOME VCDs have menus, and most "chapter stops" are just 10 min intervals. Menus also consist of just one still photo with a couple of options selectable by numbers on your remote, nothing as elaborate as DVD.
Hey, even LDs never had/have any menus!
