[slowpok]

i'm trying to burn an mpg file and i keep getting the box show up (foreign image settings)-how do i go about fixing this.

What are you trying to create? A data disc? A VCD/SVCD/DVD? Are you using a Nero Wizard?

i have an mpg file-i'm just creating a new compliation and when i go to burn it comes up with the box(foreign image setting)-trying to burn svcd.

[mats.hogberg]

Well, my standard reply for Nero issues:
Scrap it. Use VCDEasy for authoring and even burning. If your CD writer isn't supported by VCDEasy, just create the cue/bin with VCDEasy, and burn that with Nero. It's good at writing stuff to a CD/DVD. It's not good for anything else. (Even if I must admit I like it's CD cover editor...)

thanks Matts

one question thou-how do you go about creating a bin/cue file from an mpg file with vcdeasy.i want to burn it on cdr.

[mats.hogberg]

That's the purpose of VCDEasy - to create a cue/bin pair containing a (S)VCD image from one or more mpegs,(and possibly burn it to CD). To stop after creating the cue/bin, (and not burn it) just uncheck the burn checkbox.

hey Mats

is this the simulate process that VCDeasy uses when running thru and verifing the file and makes a xln file when done.

[mats.hogberg]

No, the simulate performes the burning action, with the laser turned off. If both Simulate and Burn are checked, it will create the image, then simulate a burn, then do the actual burn (when you hit Go).
With neither Simulate nor Burn checked, the image (cue/bin) will be created, but nothing more will happen. You can then locate and use this cue/bin using the File -> Burn Image option in Nero.

hey Mats

[mats.hogberg]

Nope, fixing a corrupt rar is beyond me...
