Hard to answer your question without more information. What was the source file? Did you capture it with a capture card as an AVI file? Did you view the source file before you encoded it in TMPEG? Maybe the source file is in b&W and the problem is in capturing. Provide us with more information and someone here might be able to help.

no its a avi file that i got of direct connect and i encoded it to a svcd with tmpg and it played on windvd fine but then when i burnt it with nero it is in balck and white but is fine quality and sound

[shimmie]

i got it working now had to encode in ntcs instead of pal but its in wide screen format adn i have a big screen and would prefer it to take up the whole set how would i do that with tmpg

Generally B&w playback falls into two sets of problems.

1) You have a .avi that is NTSC when you are in PAL land ( or vice versa )

2) The connectors between your DVD player and TV need adjusting.
