I have movies as avi files and wish to burn them using Nero 6 to cd's to watch as VCD format. I know Nero suppose to covert and burn by itself, but so far I have wasted a ton of disks that seem to burn ok but never play on the dvd player ( panasonic 18 mths old). Any help towards this would be much appreciated.
Hi, Use TMPGEnc to encode to MPEG1 (VCD) and use nero to burn to CD. I use it all the time, great prog. Info available on the site see http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/tmpgenc.cfm also here http://www.videohelp.com/tmpgenc.htm check out the guides on this site for further info Hope this helps Cheers
Are you sure your DVD player can play them.The first DVD player I had would play DVDS and that was all,no mp3s no nothing just DVDS.
thanks for the help, will give it a shot... yes my dvd player plays vcds usually, and mp3 are ok when I burnt them and played them. just the avi files from the net that seem to not work.
its me again, and I am going crazy... after following the instructions to the T, I managed to covert the AVI file to mpg using TMPGEnc. next step is to burn it on cd. Nero gave me a warning message just like the one I got when I was trying to burn avi file initially. the error says the file is not a recognisable video format, and nero will encode it before burning. the resulting cd will not play on pc or dvd. is it a Nero problem, or did I do something wrong?
It must be Nero, try downloading another burning software and then you'll know. I've heard Alcohol 120% is a good tool, I haven't tried it myself yet, you can get it from the software section and try it. Hope you get a result! Cheers
