I just love the Internet. I found the manual to your player at:

<http://tacpservice.toshiba.com/ConsumerProductSupport/Manuals/DVD/sd2805_ownman.pdf>

Take a look at page 5. It says that you can play "DVD Video, Video CD
(VCD) and Audio CD" and it goes on to say "In addition, this unit can
play a CD-R or CD-RW that contains audio titles or MP3 files."

It doesn't EXACTLY say that you can play a VCD made on CD-RW, but it's
worth a shot since it can read MP3s off of CD-RW. Keep in mind that
you can NOT make SVCD disks for this unit.

If you don't have a burn program yet, <http://www.vcdeasy.org/> is
wonderful. It performs a lot of checks on your files so you know that
things should work. There is a free trail-version available.
