can someone explain this

[scaff1]

My first attempt to burn a downloaded video clip to play on my stand alone dvd player actually worked
My dvd player is vcd,mp3,cdr cdrw compatable
All I did was burn the file with an old version of easy cd creator
I burn't it as data
Video clip details
file format MPEG-1 system stream
content ->video & audio
data rate -> 2159 kbps (ave)
video info -> 320x240, 29.970 fps
audio info -> 32000 hz 131.1 kbps, stereo
audio format: MPEG-1 Layer 2
My other attempts to do this have been unsuccesful WHY?

I have found that most of my DivX movies cannot be burned to vcd in EZCD Creator (any version)(They are of course .mpg files). I the first time I used EZCD Creator to burn a VCD, I burned the whole movie. but when i played it on my DVD player, on the first 9 minutes showed up. So i sudgest using Nero. It is much more effective then EZCD Creator. It even successfully burns .mpg files that EZ says it can support and wont work in a DVD. Hope this helps.
