Nero 5.5.9.9 & MPEG-2/SVCD pugin?

[alirio]

I recently updated my Nero from 5.5.4 (Ithink it was, I got it with my HI-VAL Drive last year) to 5.5.9.9 and my question is does anyone know if my recent update to the latest version already include the full unlimted MPEG-2/SVCD plugin?

Or do I need to purchase the plug-in for it?

I ask because of my I'm having problems burning a MPEG-2 file (re-encoded from divx to SVCD with TMPGEnc)...does anyone have any solutions to my problem, please?

I'm thinking if I should encode my divx file with Nero and maybe it will burn ok, I guess...Anyone use Nero to encode to SVCD?

1. dont use nero to encode anything
2. you dont need the mpeg2 plug in to burn svcd or anything else for that mater.
3. 5.5.9.9 does not come with the plug in

the problem with not being able to burn svcd w/ nero - i dont know .. did you try vcdimager? everyone here says to use it it seems..

thanks for the reply BJ_M, I appreciate it...

well let me ask you this man, have you heard about people having problems with burning SVCDs w/Nero? I ask because see I was able to burn my very 1st one not too long ago, but now this one certain divx movie I can't and I'm really stuck...

I'll give VCImager a try, is it free? I'll see if I can find it on the Tools section on the left...thanks man!

I noticed the comment that states not to use Nero (with plug in) to encode to SVCD. Why? Is there a problem with it?

I cant speak for BJ_M...so I'll just speak for myself....Any time I've used Nero to encode I've been unhappy with the results.
TMPG allows much more flexability (I do a lot of tweaking) and the resulting encodes are always great....

I use Nero to burn everything....for that I like it.

Nero does not have a great Mpeg/Mpeg2 encoder. It's OK, but not great. I have the MPEG2 encoder and it works fine. The updated version of Nero has too many bugs in it for me, so I use the older version. I encode my vcd's using the encoder hat comes with the DAZZLE USB capture device. It looks much sharper than Nero.
