Have used TMPGEng in various set-ups to convert AVI/MPEG to VCD and play it on a (European) Sony player DAV-S300, DVPNS400. None of the players I tried (Sony, as well as Pioneer, Panasonic) showed anything but for the famous "no-disc". Used DirectCD, CD-R's as well as CD-RW's. What can I have done wrong and are there any "standard" settings for TMPGEng for this purpose
