Avi to Mpeg and Mpeg to VCD !!

[CatEyeMale]

Hiya there,
I have just gotten into all this and dont know how to convert an AVI to MPEG and then Mpeg to VCD so that i can play it on my dvd player.
I have CD creator 4 on my computer. I tried to use Nero 5.5 but my nero does not support my cd writer. So can you plase explain step by step what to do and how to do it

Thank you very much in advance
CAT.

Just follow the directions in the "How to Convert" section on the left. You can use TMPGenc to convert the avi directly to vcd format mpeg files. Hope this helps.

pardon me if this comes across rude, i do not mean it that way but what you guys need to do is stop assuming you need step by step instructions. this stuff is not that complex. follow the guides on this site and experiment and you will be surprised how quickly you can learn it on your own with whats provided here.

Cat your dvd player probably does not support the cd-r or cd-rw media you put the vcd on. burned vcd's from your cd writer are different from pressed vcd's so just because the dvd player says it plays vcd's that does not mean it will play a vcd on a cd-r.

KLO this is a guess but im pretty sure its a correct guess. look at the file name and if it says 1of2 in it then you probably want 2of2 to go with it otherwise you only have half a movie. vcd's only hold 74 minutes of video so movies have to be burned onto 2 discs.
