Burned VCD wit Nero(Having Trouble Please Help)

[CPRINGLE09]

I converted my avi file to mpg using TMPGenc. It worked fine i could watch them and everything. Then i d/l the demo of nero and followed this websites instructions on burning the VCD. I dragged and dropped and did all that stuff. Also i used Memorex High capacity 80 min CD-R. So the program burnt it (on 4x)and it looked ok while i watched it copy. Then i plopped it into my DVD-Rom drive to check it out before i put it into my Toshiba standalone. Nothing happened!!! Then i went into MY COMPUTER and checked the cd. IT ONLY was 2.15 MB and the mpg was nowhere to be found it was only a bunch of folders. Ive wasted 4 cd's trying differnt speeds and everything. Cant figure it out. Please Help ME!!!!!!!!!

I just tryed your suggestion and it didnt work the same thing happened. I just get a bunch of folders. However when i right click, click properties and click the volumes tab i get a message that says "Could not get information of one or more volume(s)" And then under volumes it says Crouching as the name ISO 9660 as they type and then the creation time and that stuff. Then under that a volume with no name and a check next to it. And also for the type it has "???". I dont get it please someone help me!!!!!!!

If the VCD was burned correctly, the movie is in one of the folders. It should be in the MPGEGAV folder. Also it most likely doesn't have the movie icon unless you already associated dat files w/windows media player. If you have't associated the dat file w/windows right click on the dat file named something like "avseq" followed by some other stuff. Then choose "open with" >> windows media player. Also the movie won't autoplay in your CDrom or DVDrom unless you specifically author it to do so by adding some files for that function(at least as far as I know).

i agree with gambit32 your looking for mpegs while the movie files inside a VCD are where changed to *.dat files within the mpgegav folder
jus try opening the files with windows media player.

and about your stand alone dvd player not beable to play the burnt vcd. well thats another issue man some dvd players cant play burned vcd's because i think cause they are burned not stamped like commerical DVD's but maybe a switch to a higher quality CD-R might fix the problem Might...

Thanks dudes i found the problem. I was looking for mpeg when indeed the answer was right there but it was dat. NOw i just got to get it to work on my Toshiba SD-2150. Any suggestions. I am using Memorex CD-R's. Thx...

[timmy_boi]

well i guess if it still doesnt play on your standalone player then play with different quality cd-r brands and names

but sometimes i guess some standalone players jus "cant" play burned anything

Hi , I'm haveing the same exact problem he has, it only has like 200mb on it also, same as he had said. How can that be write, I tried twice, with diff programs for ripping, and spliting. same encoder he used. And used reg. nero to burn both vcd. And my Samsung dvd says no disc found. I didnt us any special program to have it found on a standalone, didnt know you needed it. Can anyone help us.

If anyone would be willing to work directly with me i would appreciate it. I want this to work so bad. lol

The second time i uses the newbie guide in here to the T and same thing happened.

Thanks for all this help ive fixed the problem by using a Memorex CD-RW and it works fine with my standalone. Now i need to figure out why there are black margins on all sides of the picture. I know ive seen it on this site once but i cant seem to find it now. Please redirect me to where i can find how to get rid of those margins.Thanks!!!!
