making a concert vcd

[photoman]

Please read this good before sending a reply. After the last question that I had about doing a seemless disc, I wondered if this might be possible. Starting first, I would run a video tape through my ATI All In Wonder 128's outboard unit (where the capturing would take place) into my computer. Next I would use the ATI video editor or MGI video wave (the ati might be better because I would be able to keep the same video size as I captured it, the Mgi would change it to a smaller one) to split the video up. Now the interesting part, I would use the nero 5 to make the disc as a vcd. Now that the video tape that I captured and saved as separate chapters (somewhat) would this technically burn as a long playing disc with maybe a slight pause between the tracks if I set the time to zero (it automatically sets at 5 seconds) AND would I be able to skip to the song that I want using my dvd players remote??????

You are making a "multitrack" VCD not a chaptered one.

A multitrack VCD will not play seamlessly on most VCD and DVD players, even if you set the wait time to zero.

The way to make real chapters on a VCD is to use "entrypoints" and have the mpeg as one big one and not to chop it up.

You can make it with VCDImager manually or with one of its GUIs (e.g., TSCV or VCDEasy).
