Alright, I'm gonna try to put this to bed...
#1--You DON'T make VCD's or SVCD's with TMPGEnc, you just encode video (& audio) files into (S)VCD-ready MPEG's with it.
#2--Then you take them into an authoring app. This is where the menuing and chaptering come into play. One of the best for (S)VCD's is VCDEasy. There are others; look around. There are others for DVD, as well.
#3--Once it's authored, it usually is ready to burn (either from a folder w/ files, or from a disc image file) onto disc. Other apps for this (Nero, RNM, etc.)
#4--Sometimes #2 and #3 are combined into 1 app, sometimes #1, #2, and #3. Sometimes, they're all independent.
#5--Your problems with installing and uninstalling are tangential to these other issues. If you can't even download DirectX update correctly, your system is truly F@#ked up!
#6--Sounds like you need to start from scratch. Backup your drive, wipe it clean, re-install the OS, and then reinstall (only) the multimedia apps you'll actually need.
#7--Don't do that unless you are very comfortable with the process. If you aren't, convince a friend who is, to do it. Bribe 'em (etc.).
#8--Then, don't mess with the setup once it's ok. The recommended software here does work, there's just other things interfering with 'em.
#9--Read up more about how this all works. Buy DVD DeMystified, or Video DeMystified, etc. The guides to the left have links to lots of good info.
#10--If you're still in trouble, cut your losses, skip it and buy a Panasonic DVD-Recorder or something.
#11--Don't do anything until you've read all these items! (A couple of times). Reminds me of that phrase about "a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing".
Good luck,
Scott
#12--(Checking to see if you're reading them all) HINT: Most folks here like it better when the same question(s) don't keep getting re-asked--especially when they have been thoroughly answered already
