HELP not video cd compliant ??

[highlander20s]

Hi all, i am trying to burn a movie to disk using nero but it says it is not video cd compliant and will reincode to video cd format, the movie started as an avi which i used tmpgenc to convert i loaded the unlock file and changed all the settings i needed to change, 8 hours later and nero does this.
Can anyone help please

Burn it as non-complient.

Is it really VCD and not SVCD?
Did you do the Audio Correctly?

I'd predict that you might have used the wrong template in TMGEnc. Nero will convert for you, just load the AVI straight into the VideCD template and it will do the rest.

No! Don't do it! Don't let Nero re-encode your file.

@highlander- Since you had to use the unlock template it seems that you made a file that is not 100% VCD compliant. If you use one of the regular VCD templates without unlocking then you will normally create a compliant file. Burn it as non-compliant like Gazorgan said, if nero won't do that then VCDEasy will.

Personal experience...no problems whatsoever using Nero to re-encode AVIs, WMVs anything...

I guess different strokes for different folks.....

Obviously you don't rate it Zippy ?

No, it's doesn't compare, quality wise, to TMPGEnc, CCE or Mainconcept which are the widest used encoders around these parts. To each his own though.

Fair enough.

thanks to all for helping, i did it as non-compliant then burned it no problem until i put in my dvd and played it, there is a green line down the whole screen and covering about 1/3rd of the picture, any ideas??

Try using TMPGEnc's templates to make a compliant file in the first place.

If you unlock the template and fiddle with the settings, you're making an XVCD (i.e. a non-compliant file/disc).

If you do this, you shouldn't be surpised when Nero says the file is non-compliant, and you encounter problems playing the disc on your standalone.
