Problem with creating a XSVCD.

[Dr.Pepper]

Hi to all!!

I have a XSVCD movie file which I want to burn on CD and play on my DVD/(S)VCD-Player.
My problem is, that the DVD-Player didn't do anything with the CD.
What I'm doing wrong??

Some additional information:

Movie properties: (Source: Property page of MPEG Mediator)
Stream:
Type: MPEG-2 Program Stream
Size: 705124840 bytes

Video:
Type: MPEG-2
Resolution: 704 x 576
Framerate: 25fps
Aspect Ratio: 4:3

Audio:
Type: MPEG
Channels: 2 (Stereo)
Samplerate: 44100Hz
Resolution: 16bit

That's XSVCD for me, isn't it?
-----------------------------------------------------

Burning Software:
Nero 5.5.6.4

Player:
Silva Schneider DVD 5500S
I know, that Silva Schneider is a low cost player. But he was working fine ... until now.

I tested the player with the testfiles which are available for download from this site. The player had NO problem with the SVCD, XSVCD Test-CD's. I could view all of the testfiles.

I already read the doku about 'burning X(S)VCD's' from this site and THEN burned the CD. But it didn't worked.

Thx in advance for your help!

If your player works with the test files try playing with the settings under the compatability options.

hmmmm ....... well, I was thinking too about this.
But there is another problem.
I couldn't get the 'format-information' (size, fps, CQ or VBR, ...) of the test Mpeg's.
TMPEGEnc (2.02) tells me, that the mpeg is no mpeg!
The "MPEG Mediator" tells me the same.

I think, that I use the wrong programs.
Anyone knows anything better?

TIA & Cu

How are you trying to burn your MPEG file? You said you're using Nero, so I assume you're using Neros SVCD template. Did you select PAL (vs. NTSC based on teh 720x576 and 25fps I assume you want PAL).

You might want to try running VCDImager, and then burning the bin/cue file.

Thx to all of You.

I 'fixed' the problem. It was the NERO configuration which was wrong
And the configuration was wrong because of the Nero-SVCD burnning doku which I found @ vcdhelp. It lead me a little bit in the wrong direction, but with the demo files for SVCD & XSVCD from vcdhelp I found the right NERO settings.

Anyway .... thx alot for Your help .... this forum ist REALLY active!!!
