hi,

i have my mpegs ready, and wish to burn them onto a vcd.

1. my first problem is that nero 5.5 goes thru the whole shebang of writing and verifying and all that, but 15 minutes later, my cd is completely blank! no files! i can create audio and data cds perfectly with this cd drive. i tried roxio and cdrwin, but both of them do not even recognize my cdr-w drive.

2. i would like to know one more thing. all the vcds i have have *.dat files on them, none of them has *.mpg files. why should i be burning mpg files onto a vcd anyway? shouldn't i convert them into *.dat files? and if yes, how?

thanks!
