Your best bet is to convert the avi to mpg, using TMPGEnc, then to burn to VCD or CD. Go to the Convert section of this website to learn how. Also, you might want to make sure that your DVD player can play CD-R/RW' s and/or can play mpg's. You can find that out on the DVD Players Compatibility list on this website. It might seem like a lot of fuss to go through, but when it's all done, you'll be happy with the results.

i have tried to convert avi to mepg to make a VCD using lsx encoder, temgenc 2.53 and panasonic 2.5 encoder.

the conversion goes okay but when i play the mpeg file in real player i get only the audio no video. how can i fix this? :( ? :( ? i used the instructions from the vcdhelp.com website for each encoder. :-?

how should i convert the avi to mpeg . if any one tells me heres my email :D aguz86@yahoo.com to send the instructions or or just reply back on the post :D

i know that vcd easy converts the mpeg to cue how will i burn the bin /cue files into a vcd format (CDRDAO) is not supported by my burner SONY CRX175E

THANKS AGIAN :D

hay deman, you probably need the divx codec, can you view that avi clip of yours on windows media player? Try getting a codec pack and installing it. or make sure you have the divx codec installed

hay aguz86, I never tried playing mpegs with realplayer, can you opening it on windows media? by the way, didn't you want to convert your avi to mpeg so you can watch it on your dvd player? if you want to watch it on your computer, why not just watch it with your .avi file? (unless your computer is like mines and is slow reading divx)

..want to convert avi to mpeg then to a vcd format to watch it on my standalone dvd player. The mpeg doesnt work in windows media snd i have DIVX CODEC:) the reason why im askin u this is because if the mpeg doesnt work properly that means i di not convert it ritee in tmpgnc 2.5.

hey deman go under the vcd burning category on the website....im tryin to do the same thing..there are numerous steps involved!!!!!for ur dvd player to read the movie it has to be in a .VCD format. the dvd players CANT read avi files. avi is a compressed file format which only the computer reads. GODD LUK!!
