Does anyone know of any HP CDR/RW burner that supports overburn? OR any other brand?

I own a Philips CDRW(800 series) 8x4x32. It burns XVCDs, but I am starting to think that this is not the ideal burner for XVCDs. The XVCDs will not properly play in all these players that I have tested: Pioneer, Panasonic, Philips :wink: , GE. They play OK on JVC, Apex(audio drags) and Sanyo. I...

I am curious Why is it so easy to find AVI DIVX rather than VCD MPG???? Is Divx more popular???? cause I want VCDs and it takes forever to make a Divx into a VCD. Any tips is it common to find more Avis than Mpgs???????? And do most of you guys just look for AVIs and make your own MPG;s???...

Hi! I am trying to creat a photo cd which I can select the different tracks on it. The only problem is that these cds contain and upwards of 800+ pictures and I am unable to select the different tracks (each jpg is a track). The only way to select different tracks is by pressing the skip track...

SpruceUP seems like the perfect dvd authoring software. When trying to insert chapters and previewing the movie, it starts playing and then says "Error in DPI.DLL" and then it aborts the program. Is there any way to fix this?

Hi, Im trying to make a VCD with the VCD 2.0 Toolkit, and I know that in order to make the Toolkit accept an MPEG, it has to be 100% compliant. Now I read in the guides, that in order to do that, it should help to re-multiplex the file with VCDMux. So I de-multiplexed the file with TMPGEnc...

can you use easy cd creator 4 or 5 and just drop mpeg 2 files into the layout, or do you have to use a different burning software? also does anyone know if there is a special way that you have to convert divx avis to mpegs in order to make them playable on a vcd? TMPGEnc doesnt seem to like them

Lets See ... I have a AVI, that i convert to MPG, that is recorded on a VCD as .DAT. I have heard that there are versions of VCDs and players will play a VCD only if it supports that version. So what do the versions depend upon ? The AVI, the AVI to MPG converter, the MPG format or the VCD...

Oh, good heaven above! Is there really any problem with just making a picture at 740x480 that will appear properly at 4:3 aspect, and just dropping it into NERO? From what Im gathering here, its all you need to do (unless you have a stubborn player), and you get up to 99 pics per VCD. The...

When I back up my DVDs, I like to create VCDs or SVCDs with exact chapter points, i.e., the chapter points fall on exactly the same frame that they did on the original DVD. The method I use to do that (in a nutshell) is as follows: 1) Rip 2) Run ChapterXtractor to find the frame numbers at...

How do I burn a 95min vcd on a 80min cd?

This is actually on a related topic, but you all seem to know how this stuff really works, so heres my question: Using ULead MSP6 with the DVD plug in, I pull in VCD-compliant MPEG files created with TMPGEnc, and the plug-in doesnt like them. So ... I ran them through the MPEG Repair utility,...
