<p>If Autodetect is:</p><ul><li>ON then K3b will set the correct VideoCD type.</li><li>OFF then the correct VideoCD type needs to be set by the user.</li></ul><p>If you are not sure about the correct VideoCD type, it is best to turn Autodetect ON.</p><p>If you want to force the VideoCD type, you must turn Autodetect OFF. This is useful for some standalone DVD players without SVCD support.</p>
