burning to VCD can't view this??

[turtleslow]

hello all, a newbie to this forum.

i used Nero to burn my 40 min. movie. i had already converted this file from .AVI to mpeg using TMPGEnc plus 2,524.

i burned this to a cd-r and was hoping to view this on a DVD on my dad.s dvd. but was unable to view it? dvd had a error on screen.
i checked on my dvd and same error. then just tried to view on my PC and it just showed 6 folders but was unable to view.

so is ther a setting i need to set when burning using nero 6.6 ?

What you've made is a mini-dvd, that is a dvd structure on CDR.
There's maybe one in a thousand players that will read this.
You should have encoded the avi to (S)VCD and then chosen the appropriate template in Nero.

actually i did try a SVCD and again did not play in any dvd player allthou it did play onmy pc using windows media player.

so i ask, in these forums i read, it says that VCD and SVCD can play on dvd. ( and like you say it does not ) so like your post i need to choose the appropriate template, which is ??

What is the DVD player and Model Number that you have?

I'm not so sure it's a miniDVD that was created -- 6 folders sounds more like a VCD???

For a miniDVD, I would expect to see 2 folders -- VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS, but not 6 folders as was mentioned...

Liteon - 12X dvd+-R/+-RW dual format

can't seem to find the model # rite now, (book missing) 3 moths ago installed

I mean the DVD player you are trying to play this on.

I was thinking 6 files in the VIDEO_TS folder, that would look like folders, but aren't.
If it did do 6 folders, that would be odd, as VCD has only 5, and SVCD only 4.
From the new compliation template list, select VCD or SVCD.
Make sure your player will play such disks first.
Fill out your computer specs, so we don't have to guess.

What are the folder names?
What software are you trying to play it on?

What are the names of the 6 folders? Did you Author a VCD or a DVD?

Check you DVD Player using the link on the left "DVD Players" to see what it can play (I would expect the Apex's to be able to play a VCD).

i don't know all the specs on m PC ( how can i get find them, i know there is a device manager or?)

there are 5 folders, sorry i thought there was 6

CDI, EXT, MPEGAV, SEGMENT, VCD

It's a VCD.
Winamp should work, as should wmp, and any number of other viewers.

Open the VideoCD template in Nero, drag and drop the various files from the folders created by TMPGenc into their respective counterpart folders in the Nero compilation window, and then burn.
