 +People have basically said, "if you want it to play *everywhere*, your best chance is Video CD." It's true. I can get these to play in my two DVD players, and both of my [[Sony Blu-ray Players|Blu-ray players]]. Doesn't look bad, either.

It won't default to it. If there are multiple tracks on there, you can jump using chapters key press -- ''@''.
