[Chilly]

Burn them to disk

yes i have a burner, but when i burn them they come out upside down and back to front.

[Chilly]

Burn them as a Data File and not Vcd?

Try burning slower?

Just suggestions

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.

thanx for your help, much appreciated. i will try to burn them as dats, do i need to encode them to mpeg afterwards?

i've downloaded the new kaZaA Lite codec pack 1.7 but all xvid movies
has gotten a very dark picture. anyone got any tips?

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

Try them on a different player

Or try another Codec pack

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.
