    I converted my avi file to mpg using TMPGenc. It worked fine i could watch them and everything. Then i d/l the demo of nero and followed this websites instructions on burning the VCD. I dragged and dropped and did all that stuff. Also i used Memorex High capacity 80 min CD-R. So the program burnt it (on 4x)and it looked ok while i watched it copy. Then i plopped it into my DVD-Rom drive to check it out before i put it into my Toshiba standalone. Nothing happened!!! Then i went into MY COMPUTER and checked the cd. IT ONLY was 2.15 MB and the mpg was nowhere to be found it was only a bunch of folders. Ive wasted 4 cd's trying differnt speeds and everything. Cant figure it out. Please Help ME!!!!!!!!!

    Hi , I'm haveing the same exact problem he has, it only has like 200mb on it also, same as he had said. How can that be write, I tried twice, with diff programs for ripping, and spliting. same encoder he used. And used reg. nero to burn both vcd. And my Samsung dvd says no disc found. I didnt us any special program to have it found on a standalone, didnt know you needed it. Can anyone help us.

    If anyone would be willing to work directly with me i would appreciate it. I want this to work so bad. lol

    The second time i uses the newbie guide in here to the T and same thing happened.

    Help

  2. in terms of it not playing on your standalone, have you checked the dvd players list to see if it'll play cd-rs? if your toshiba model does support cd-rs, you might have burned it wrong in nero...
    for the my computer business, if you're just viewing the main cd, explorer often has problems displaying the proper file size. the mpg file should be in the "mpegav" directory, and should be named "avseqxx.dat". check the file size of this dat - it should be slightly more than the same file size as your original mpg.

    for the samsung one, make sure you check the dvd player guide here to make sure your model will play cdrs, and even vcds for that matter - hell, some of the old dvd players won't even play vcds. hah.

  3. Ok , I'm the guys with the Samsung, it is new, it does play cd-r's with burned music on them for sure. And does have vcd right on the front of it. So how can I play them on my computer from a .dat file to test it. And if it works how do i get my dvd player to find it. It says no disc found.

    Thanks

    Since your DVD player said no disc found, it did not reconize the disc. Some people have better luck writing to CDRW.

    It may play audio music on that same CDR, but it goes through a different proccess to read VCD's.

    In the mpegav folder of the VCD, you'll see tracks call AVESQ##.dat. Open that .dat file with windows media player.

    You can also download the free VCD player, IVCD, from the tools section.

  5. So if this is the case and it could just be the brand of cd-r can I just burn a copy of the vcd that I have now onto a different cd-r or cd-rw?

  6. if it's only 2.15 Mb, it doesn't appear that you've actually added the video tracks to the disc. check for files named *.dat in the MPEGAV directory (or possibly others if you used adaptec to burn it). they should be roughly the same size as the MPEGs on your hard drive.

    in nero, did you try to add non-compliant MPEG files to a 'standards compliant' disc layout? because it could've just rejected them. you should see them in the layout with a time listed after you add them.

    you might want to try turning off standards compliance if you're still having problems.

  7. All of the vcd's I burned with Nero (5.0) have a size of 2.xx Mb. I believe this has something to do with Windows looking at the first track on the disc. If you look at the disc-layout you'll notice there are 2 tracks, the first being very small (in my case, dunno if that's true for others).

    All of the vcd's I created do run on my dvd-player (pioneer 535) without any problems. If you are sure your player can handle vcd on cd-r maybe there is something wrong with the way you burned the disc...maybe the disc is not finalised or something like that...

    Hope it helps in some way...

  8. Make sure you have loaded the thing is TMPEG. I have to always load it to vcd ntsc and it works, if i dont then it wont work.

    can someone also help me out?
    Does anyone have a clue where to get CDR silver bottom disks. I make DC games so id like to use CDR instead of buying the all of a sudden more epxensive CDRW.

    My last question is about PS2. Do you guys know if it can use a boot disc to play games or does it need a mod chip?

    actually, that "2.15 Mb" for total size when viewing the CD-ROM drive (with a VCD loaded) under windows explorer is perfectly normal. that's how i can quickly tell i've got a VCD loaded in my CD-ROM drive. double-clicking on the CD-ROM drive will then display the standard Cdi, Ext, Mpegav, Segment and Vcd folders.

    one more thing, i've got two toshiba standalones, the sd3109 and the sd6109. only my sd6109 will play my homebrewed stuff, and it must be VCD compliant and on CD-RW media and burned at 2X speed.

    Did you know that VCD's r unlike Data cds

    They contain abosultly no error correction and they are not divided into neat little blocks of data.

    This allows u to "burn to the brim"
