VCD player can't read my home made VCD

[RockRock]

I used tmpgenc to convert the AVI to mpeg1. And then use nero (also tried easycd creator) to burn it to a VCD, but the vcd player can't play the VCD. Anybody having the same trouble? how can i fix it?
Thanks

Does your player play bothvcd and cd-r?
If your not sure look in the dvd players compatability list link is to the left

My VCD player can play vcd-r.

What guide did you use?
also what codec is the file in?
Ok start explaining exactly what you did with this avi fle.

OK, i use the 'Microsoft AVI' in Premiere to export the timeline to AVI file. And then use tmpgenc 2.54.36.134 (use TibrO VideoCD template) to encode the AVI to mpeg1. Use nero 5.5.7.8 to make the vcd.

First question
where did you get this file is it downloaded or did you do a dvd rip?

How come you didn't use the divx to vcd all in on guide?

[RockRock]

I captured the file from Dv (use dazzle DV.now AV).
Use divx is a better solution? tell me more please

I don' t know anything about capturing and converting. You put your post in a newbie forum. I think you should put it in the capture forum and explain it with good detai so you can get a quick answer.I'm sure you will.

Sorry I couldn't help

Hi,

If the VCD you have created is NON STANDARD, then it will not play on many stand-alone VCD player. My Pioneer doesn't.
