VCD question

[Kenspy2]

Alright, well I think I have sort of a weird problem, and it might be my wiring setup that is to blame:

I burned a Data CD with a 500mb MPEG-1 on it, and my DVD player recognized it as an mp3, brought up my mp3 screen, and refused to play anything...I then went into Nero and burned it as a VCD, and went back to my DVD player, and it started playing (it recognized the length). Now on the S-Video input I had a picture that was basically garbled to hell, but with sound. And on my Y-CBR input I had a perfect picture with 0 sound. What the hell just happened? Then I burned a different movie using .bin and .cue and also using Nero, and I popped that into my DVD player and it played perfectly with sound and everything on both the S-Video and the Y-CBR. So I do not think it is my DVD player that is to blame, it is either the wiring, the way I put the data onto the CD, or the actual file itself...

Does anyone have a recommended solution for this or else something that I can try? And why is that .bin/.cue method working and making a VCD through Nero not working?

Thanks :)

If you read what I posted...thats exactly what I did the second time, make a VCD through Nero. It still didn't work.

I just tried converting it to a .bin/.cue and then burning it through Nero to see if that would help any, but it didn't.

I'm thinking it could be a frame rate problem....? The frame rate is 25 fps on my mpeg, is that compatible with many DVD players?

no need to get testy nooob

Well if you're just going to spam the boards with stuff that doesn't make sense, why are you calling me a noob?

Anyway, it was a frame rate problem...I guess my DVD player doesn't like 25fps; 29.97 works perfectly. Wahoo.

Sometimes it is that simple...

PAL / NTSC compatibility problems are difficult to identify when they rear themselves in less than common testing situations... I'm glad you've worked out your problem.
