Playing VCD DVD Rip

[AlanCake]

Greetings from Scotland

Just bought a NAPA DAV311 VCD/MP3 player. Been using VCD Galaxy to rip DVDs and create a supposedly VCD compliant mpg file.

The file plays fine using Windows Media player. However when I burn it on to CD (I've used both Nero 5.5 and Roxio Easy CD creator 5) the sound looks fine but the picture appears 'jumpy'. Its hard to explain the actual picture quality is fine it just appears to jump every few seconds.

The only clue I have is that when burning using Easy CD I get a warning message saying something about the pack size of the video stream might be a problem. Any ideas?

PS

I checked the PAL settings etc were correct. I also should say that I can play downloaded VCDs in my player. I don't know what else to look at. VCD galaxy is definitely making me 'stuttery' CDs


Kind regards

Just a guess: try burning at a lower speed.

Thanks for your message

I've tried burning at both 4x and even 2x and that makes no difference. Its something else. Anyone know of any other all in one utility I could use rather than VCD galaxy (can't be bothered with all the messing about with loads of bits of software and encoders).

Thanks

well....if you want flexibility, then u may have to use different proggies for different steps of the dvd ripping process..that's the best way to make sure nothing goes wrong
