Need help: No FF or pause on my VCDs

[sambojones]

For my own amusement I have been converting and burning video clips onto CD. All I do is take the .mpg files and burn them onto a disc. When I do this I cant fast forward, rewind or pause them. On the "professional" VCDs I've got in trades they can be paused/etc. and there arent .mpg files directly on the cd that I can copy and paste onto my hard drive.

Could someone tell me how or give me a link to make them into real VCDs that pause and FF and work better?

Thanks!

Whats wrong with the instructions at the above link? It tells you how to make a VCD using Nero. Thats what you want to do, make a VCD...RIGHT? If not, you will have to give the people here more details regarding your problem.

ok that link wasnt working before

The link isn't that helpful If you don't have Nero. What other programs can I use?

[sambojones]

Will I be able to pause, FF with other programs? Is Nero the only choice?

What you need is VCDEasy.... If you want to use fast forward or pause you have to make chapters first.

VCDEasy is a very good program to make VCD's. However, you do not need to make chapters. I never make chapters and FF and pause always work on my two DVD players (Apex 660, DMTech 2000).

Some players will let you FF and/or pause a VCD without chapters and some will not. It depends on the player. My Pioneer DV-440 will let me FF and pause but the FF is not that fast. My Lasonic lets me FF VERY fast: 32x.
