Is this how you burn vcd's using nero?

Ok, i have the MPG file..i open nero burning rom v.5.5.5.1
-I click "file", than scrolled down to "NEW"
-On the CD Compilatiom window i click the "videoCD" icon on the left(the icon with the film strip and a disc)
-I click "NEW"
-A "Nero burning rom video 1" screen pops up(the screen you drag and drop)
-i find my movie on the right and drag it to the "track/title" box on the left
-after the trasfer is done loading, i go "FILE" and click on "WriteCD"
-Now the "writecd" window comes and i put write speed at 4x (my max,slow eh?) ..write method i put on track-at-once..number of copies i put 1
and above those it says "action" everything is unchecked so i leave only "WRITE" checked..so determine max speed, simulation, and finalize cd are all unchecked..so with only "write" checked..i click the "write" tab on the upper right and thats how i do it...is something wrong that i did???HELP!!!!

XNeo, that's pretty much it except for a couple of differences here.

- My version says 'Disc-At-Once' checked, not 'Track-at-once'

- I keep 'Finalize CD' checked. I honestly don't know if this is required or not, but mine was on by default and I've always left it that way.


Otherwise, there's nothing wrong. What indicates that you have a problem? Does your standalone player not recognize the cd? Have you tried CDRW?

You need "finalize cd" checked, otherwise its not completing the table of contents, and the cd will be unreadable in any player - leaving it non-finalized is what you want to do if you want to put data on the disc, then add more data later. But, until the disc is finalized, it wont be readable.

ANd you guys sure it's disc-at-once right??dang...vcdhelp said to put "track-at-once"..they should fix that up

It doesn't really matter whether you burn a VCD as TAO or DAO. Both should work.
