Burn them as a Data File and not Vcd?

Try burning slower?

Just suggestions :lol:

No-one mentioned VCDs.

This problem occurs sometimes because of codec problems. I have seen it happen to me.

Download the K-Lite codec pack, from the main page.

Remove the codec packs you have installed. Then install the K-Lite one. It will only work if you remove the old one first.

This worked for me. I hope it works for you.

Welcome and Good Luck.

Its because you are using something like nero to burn (and convert) your file - use something like tmpegenc to make the vcd file in the correct format to start with, then use nero to burn.

Did you uninstall your old ones first before installing K-Lite Codec Pack :(

Try reinstalling them again :unsure:

Try them on a different player :unsure:

Or try another Codec pack :unsure:

Try doing a search on the Forum about Codec's or problem's :)

Just suggestions B)

You only need to encode to mpg only if you want to watch it on your DVD player. Burning as .dat is good for storage/back-up.
