Vcd Questions

[Nightwolf]

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

That's funny, I found several players listed here that play CD-R's but NOT CD-RW's.

I'm lucky then because mine play's CD-RW's and I got it from Circuit City brand new for about $50

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.
