cdrw burn

how do u burn a cdrw and use it on a VCD player?

You can use CDRWs just as you can use CDRs, just don't format them in any way. Easy CD creator and Nero have an option to erase CDRW, use this , then just burn as normal. Be aware though, you will only get about an hours worth of VCD on a CDRW...

thats odd
after i erase them using nero and cd creator
and then burn them using both but still my vcd player still cannot play
so i tried it on another vcd player also cannot play

have u tried it on a CDRW and it works on your vcd?
does speed affects this, using 4x

Hi..

I'm new to VCD burning myslef, but I have a similar problem with EasyCD Creator 5.

I created a VCD onto a TDK CDWR and it played fine in my standalone DVD player (Panasonic). I then wanted to try to create a menu, so I erased the CDWR and went through the VCD wizard to create a new VCD with menus using the same MPG files. Now the DVD player will not play the VCD at all but I can play the VCD on my PC running WinDVD 3.0

I was wondering if a DVD players have problems with CDWRs after it has been erased and rewritten to.

Also, how to I select a frame from the MPG file to use as a thumbnail in EasyCD creator.

Thanks
Dave

If your DVD-player has trouble reading your CD-RW, try to erase the CD-RW using 1x speed (instead of using max speed), before writing the video. Only this way I could make my DVD-player read the CD-RW.

Thanks!!!

I erased the CDRW using a FULL erase rather than a QUICK erase as you suggested then burned as normal and the thing played in my DVD!!

Many Thanks!!!
