I have been successfully burning SVCDs from MPEG created with TMPG to play on my Mustek 560 using my desktop and using Nero 5.5.9.17. I create the MPEG files on my Fujitsu-Siemens laptop but it's a pain because this machine came with a basic verson of CD Creator and I can only run demo Nero on it, so I have to use a link cable to transfer large MPEG files to the PC for burning (time consuming).
I have finally managed to get Nero 5.5.9.17 on the lap top. When I burned the MPEG file with exactly the same settings as on the PC version everything seemed fine but it woouldn't play on the Mustek. Frustrating or what!!
I have a Ricoh MP7083A cd writer on the PC and a Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2102 on the laptop.
