Hi there. I was wondering if anyone could please help me. I have just received my wedding video ( PAL ) from the company that filmed it, but I would like to convert it into VCD format. The problem is I have no idea what equipment I will require, or how do do it once I have the equipment. Could someone please post a Link to a guide or just plain info. Thanks very much in advance. Scotia p.s. The equipment I have at the moment is :- Video recorder/player ( PAL Format ) AMD 600Mhz Proc. 128Meg ram 15 Gig 5200rpm Hard Drive Riva TNT2 graphics Card Lite-on CD Burner Thanks once again
You need to have TV capture card on your machine because you need to transfer the data from analog format (PAL tape) to PC first. Then you just encode the video using TMPGEnc to MPEG-1 (although as we're speaking of pretty significant video here, I would suggest that you make two copies -- one for plain playback in VCD format and another one in better quality using SVCD which takes more space) and then you burn it using Easy CD Creator or Ahead Nero.
