I opened an AVI file to burn as a VCD in Nero. It told me that the file had to be encoded to mpegh before burning proceeded. When it fininshed encoding/burning, I popped the CD in my Apex 1500 DVD player and it did play, but the picture was filling the screen (original AVI was a letterboxed movie) and the picture was highly pixelated. Anything I can do to prevent this? Thanks!
