Nero & Easy Cd - No Good For Vcds?

[Seagull Kev]

Every time I try to use Nero to burn a CD or VCD it crashes as soon as I try to add my chosen files (I have been able to use it before). I then downloaded v5.5.9.14, but that is still the same. I then BOUGHT Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator 6, which burns adui CDs ok but won't burn VCDs.

Please can any one offer any help? I have looked on the Nero website but there doesn't seem to be anything on my specific problem.

make sue the movies you are adding to the project is a mpeg (4) it will work then. i ant up on burnnig movies though.

Thanks. :( Forgive my ignorance - I am trying to burn .avi files - will it work with them or do they have to be converted in some way?

When using roxio...open the DVD Builder...drag the avi file into the builder (one of those blank squares) and put a blank cd in....press burn and choose the the vcd button....it will convert and burn from there.
Sorry for the quick run down....on my way out...lol

I have tried that Skelley, but nothing happens! I drag the file to the builder and nothing seems to get transferred according to the space used box at the bottom.

Nero seems a more user friendly program to use, anyone got any ideas why it shuts down as soon as I try and add stuff to the playlist? :blink:

My problem is that I can't get Nero or EasyCD to work properly - as I said, every time I try to burn an audio CD or VCD, Nero crashes out completely (5.5.9.14). Easy CD6 just wont accept any .avi files at all. I now have loads of .avi files downloaded and no way of burning them to disc.

what operating system are u using, have you recently upgraded to Xp, i had problems re aspi drivers under Xp, sorted now with newer drivers.

Nero will not burn .avi, they need to be converted first

Try Nero Burning ROM v. 5.5.10.15a

That's the latest version. I'm not sure if that will solve your problem.

[Seagull Kev]

Thanks Guys - have been using XP for ages. I'll try new drivers and Nero 5.5.9.15a.

[Seagull Kev]

Right - I now have Nero 5.5.10.15a. Where do I get new aspi drivers from? And what and how to I convert the .avi files from/to?

Use TMPGEnc to convert and split (If necessary) .avi's to .mpg. Each file has to be less than 80 minutes. If you need help using this program, search the forums or go to http://www.dvdrhelp.com/tmpgenc.htm
