Nero 5.5 VCD Burned Success, But Video Problems.

[schwartz]

Ok, Farily new at this, but been following the directions given to me. I have 3 DVD Players, the Sony Playstation 2 (don't think it works at all, or hasn't for me yet), A Sony DVPS560P, and an Apex. After burning a VCD, without errors, I have some probs. The Sony DVD players (PS2 and the DVP) doesn't recognize the disk at all. The Apex recognizes it fine, but after I hit play I can hear the sound from the VCD just fine, but the pic is B&W and scrolling upward. Tried a few different MPEG's to burn, with the same success for all of them. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks

I ahve the same problem with my apex. Put the region setings (or something like that) to NTSC not pal or auto if you encoded the VCD using NTSC (which for some odd reason doesnt work as well). Yeah its a weird problem i get when i encode with Nero 5.5 and i use the NTSC encoding it comes out really screwed up so i stick with Pal (which isnt that great either)

I tried changing it to PAL, but had the exact same resluts. Something sure is fishy. I do notice it is doing version 2 as opposed to 1, dunno if that has anything to do with it. Also find it wierd that the PS2 and/or the other DVD player can't read the disk at all. Anyone who can help it would be GREATLY appreciated.

With the Apex I had a similar problem, YOU MUST ENCODE RESOLUTION OF 480x480 or less, preferably 352x240 works fine every time. Or make a test cd with 20 mpeg clips various screen sizes and nothe the ones that worked as well as the ones that didnt.

Well, default resolution for this was 352X288, so don't know what the heck to do. Any other suggestions? Maybe I shouldn't be using NERO but some other writing software hehe.

Hi,

@ schwartz :
Let me start with saying a PS2 cannot play VCD's by itself !
The file you created ( 352x288 ) is in PAL format (Otherwise it would have been 352x240). If you're tv system is a NTSC system, and your DVD-Player is set to either auto or PAL and your TV doesn't support PAL signals, the effect is what you describe. Most dvd-player come with the output set to AUTO by default. Since you already changed it to PAL (Which in this case gives the same output as AUTO) try setting it to NTSC.

Greetz,
