VCDEasy, TMPGCenc: problems with chapters & Disk Error

[bernie01]

Help! I'm having problems authoring/burning my first VCD. Here's what I did:
Take1:
1. Created AVI files by passing analog VHS tape (70 minutes) into a Digi-8 video camera, then out via Firewire into my PC (pass through).
These files were captured using Scanalyzer as Type2 div-avi files and resulted in 4 files, 3 of 4Gb and the last a little smaller.
2. Converted the 4 AVI files to mpeg using TPMGEnc
3. Using VCDEasy, created chapters (no menus) and created an image file on my PC as CDRDAO is not functional due to lack of ASPI drivers.
This created name.bin , name.cue and name.xml files
4. Using Nero, burnt the image to CD (from memory, I think I selected the cue file in Nero).
This resulted in a VCD with good picture quality but the chapters I created were non existent, and there were chapters (entry points) at the beginning of each
of the 4 files. Not what I wanted, but at least it worked to a point!

Take2:
1. Decided to merge the 4 mpeg files into one large one, did so using the 'Merge & Cut tool in TPMGEnc. (Made backup copies first!)
2. Created many chapters in VCDEasy, then hit 'go' button. Got error message saying "This mpeg requires autopadding' in the log.
3 Deleted the files created and used MPeg tools in TPMGEnc to demultiplex the large file (which created name.m1v and name.mp2 files) then multiplexed these files as I read about doing this on this forum.
4. Using VCDEasy again, created chapters (no menus) and created an image file on my PC. This created name.bin , name.cue and name.xml files again. There were approx. 70 chapters (every minute).
5. Using Nero, burnt the image to CD
Tested this in a friends DVD player, result: 'Disc Error' message, VCD ejected !!!! I have the backup copies of the original 4 mpeg files, but deleted the AVI files
as they were so large.
Can anyone point out what has gone wrong here and what I can do to create a simple VCD with multiple chapters?
Thanks, Bernie.

Update: discovered the MPEG file scan tool in VCDEasy, ran it on the 'big' file, heres the result, looks OK to me?
