I posted earlier in a different message about having trouble with Nero 6 taking an MPEG file that I had on my hard drive and burning it as something different. I did a search on the internet and found this below but is there a "media check" on Nero 6?


I have nero 6 and have the VCD unreadable problem

I have used nero on 2 different computers using Winxp Pro to burn VCDs never over 24x speed and it works for some time, a few weeks or so then BAM it just spits out junk - you can see the VCD directories and dat file on the CD but it will not play - If you use a hex editor you find that the file is just random junk and not a mpeg file of any kind - Nero will still burn data CDs and Audio cds fine just not VCDs any more --- I had it do this on a computer that was only used as a digital VCR and had only a few programs for that reason - and it still did it - out of the blue even with no system changes

I had upgraded from Nero 5.5 in hopes of fixing this problem

I wonder if its a windows error

Nero will burn them now - I found out that its needs to have the media check left on - and when you burn tell it "not" to reencode and just burn - that is if its a MPEG1 file - A lot of DVD players will play MPEG1 files with different bitrates - and play them fine in VCD format

Dont know why but it does make a difference

with the media check off it places the file in the cue and does not ask any thing, it will burn, but not work - why - a bug ? its not changing the file till its burnt on cd, Then the file is junk and is not a MPEG file
