Try going Here this might help you out ;)
Don't know if you realize this but you cannot burn an AVI file into a VCD. It must be converted to MPEG-1 format first and than burned.
And of course your computer will play an AVI file.
sorry but if u read my post u would have read Nero converted the AVI file to mpeg-1
I don't beleave there is nero software that converts too mpeg. You need Tmpgenc and Virtual dub too do this process. This process eats off your RAM and can take up too 4 & + hours.
To get a idea check this link out. http://www.dvdrhelp.com/tmpgenc.htm This site takes your regular Divx files (Cough Cough avi cough Cough) and converts them too mpeg. If I was you I'd bookmark this site. Cause alot of your conversion/movie answer can be answered here.
sorry if you already said and I missed it, but do you know for certain that your stand-alone DVD player can read CDR / CDRW discs? My NAD T550 can't read any computer-burned media at all, which is a bit of a downer :(
Nero can automatically convert avi's to mpg's.Quote:

nero can do it, but its much easier to convert to mpg-1 yourself. that way, its possible to create the file such that it'll fit on one CD, (or two or whatever) I also trust it more, as you can watch the mpeg on your PC, to check it through, before wasting a CD
a) Nero's .avi converter isn't very reliable - you're better off converting with TMPGenc first.
B) CD-RW's might not work in you DVD player. Try using a regular CD-R.
CD-RW's compatibilty is no different from CD-R. He's smart to use CD-RW first just to test it and make sure it's working. I'm sure he doesn't want a coaster collection.
thanks for all the help guys while the board was down i managed to encode with tmpge after exracting it from virtaldub and burn with nero it came up perfect/ and yes i was using the CRW till I got at least a piture rather then having 1000s of coasters
Yea, using CD-RW's was a smart move. I use them also but too bad I don't have any DVD-RW's ;) Besides, that coaster collection is nice if the CD's you used had different colors. But getting back to topic, adthomp, where are you?!? Are you still having problems?
That's good. I also solved my problem over the "break"... It's great sometimes when you have a sorta vacation :DQuote:

Not all dvd players will play CD-RW's....mine will play vcd but not SVCD nor cdr nor cd-rw
That's funny, I found several players listed here that play CD-R's but NOT CD-RW's.Quote:

I'm lucky then because mine play's CD-RW's and I got it from Circuit City brand new for about $50 :D
Well, I'm unlucky then because mine will only play cd-rw's, not cd-r's (which we all know are a crapload cheaper). So I either have to spend the money on cd-rws or get more hard drive space to hold all the ones that are playback ready but not on disc.
Also try next time with menu-options disabled.
A lot of stand-alone DVD-players can't handle (s)VCDs with menu.
If this works you can try in a later project inserting chapters.
Try first on cdrw. ;)
I have used both TMPGEnc and DVD2SVCD to encode VCD/SVCD's. IMHO DVD2SVCD is way faster, much easier, and much more stable. Use the CinemaCraftEncoder version 250 not higher. I have had many .avi files that TMPGEnc just could not handle (program would crash after like 8 hours :( ) These same .avi's worked perfectly fine with DVD2SVCD. Then I burn the bin/cue at 4x with VCDEasy. One tip I read that has saved hours of aggravation: If you have a slight audio sync problem on your standalone pause the s/vcd then hit play. I watched hours of movies slightly out of sync til I read this.
If U R In A PAL Region I Dnt Think Nero Converts To PAL only NTSC. I THINK
So The Best Way Is To Convert to woteva region ur in using TMPGenc then only use nero to burn cuz i had loads of problems converting wit nero
good luck
