NO VIDEO ON VCD WHEN PLAYED ON TV???

[Rome0Rome0]

What's up everyone? I'm a super newbie to VCD making and I need some help (of course). I'll just list the steps I took to burn my VCD below:

1. Used TMPGEnc to encode an AVI file into MPEG.

2. Attempted to burn my first VCD with Nero 5.5 but was unsuccessful due to a "Track Following Error" - not sure what that means. I tried to burn again on another CD Writer and this time I got this message - "Calibration area full". I wish they'd talk English as I do not know what the heck these terms mean.

3. After Nero didn't work, I used VCDEasy to create an image or BIN file of the MPEG movie file. So far so good.

4. Finally, I used CDRWin 4.0 to burn the image and it worked.

5. Now here's the messed up part. Well, I'm heading to my living room feeling all good and stuff since I "think" I've created my first working VCD. I pop the VCD in my VCD Player and "voila"........no video....however, I can hear the audio. So what's the deal here? I thought I did everything correctly. Followed the "newbie" steps on this site. I know I've got a lot to learn though. Can anybody please help me out with this issue? Thanks to all!

TMPGEnc
Select options > environmental settings
click the VFAPI plug-in tab
right click the "DirectShow" and select higher priority, do this several times until its at the top with a value of 4

Load > Load VCD template
START

Updating Nero to 5.5.9.0 probably wouldn't do any harm.

in the TMPEGenc did you choose the rigth format ?? PAL / NTSC ??? template
try w/a small file the VCD template (pal or ntsc) and without changes encode
then chosing VCD 2.0 in VCDEASY create the image and burn w/CDRDAO (incl.in VCDEASY)
see if it works
