making VCD's

[gimp]

I use this website alot, it's great!! I am new to capturing and converting. I have a ATI all-in-one wonder radeon 32ddr,w/a 850 mhz processor, 384 ram, sound blaster live, and just about any programs available at hand. I have no problem capturing the video, my problems are from then on. I want to play these VCD's on a stand-alone DVD player I have a Pioneer 525 and a Apex 500W. I have been using Tmpeg 12j for encoding. Can someone please help me with the procedures to get a finished product.

Since you say you want to play the VCD's in a standalone...
I too have an Apex 500W-Here's what I do.
Once you have your VCD compliant file from TMPGenc you just really have to author it. Nero, NTI pro, or other utility found on this site can author/burn it for you.

If you can fine Office Depot 80min CDR disk these are good!

Hollywood thaxz for repling!!! That's my problem I can't get the VCD compliant file to work. I have tried Nero 5.5 but it always gave burn problems are crashed. I have used Adaptec for ever, but it would not work with the Yamaha 2200E burner, Roxio updated their 5.0 to 5.02 and it works great. How do you set up your program to get a VCD compliant file?

My understanding with an ATI AIW card is that your captured MPEG is not VCD compliant, you have to use something like TMPGE to demux it so it will be VCD compliant, my PVR card is the same way, I have to demux my MEPG2 capture so it will be SVCD compliant.
Then use NERO 5.5 to burn onto a CD-R.

thxkid thanks for the input!! Which demuxing should I use basic or demultiplex? Then what steps after that? Is there a capture program that I could use that would capture VCD compliant files. I tried media studio 6.0 I can't get it to recongise s-video or composite on the ATI card.
