burning avi to VCD nero

[sarsam]

hi all,

I tried burning a CD from AVI to VCD format using NERO 5.5.

I selected VCD format and source as AVI movie.

i don't know what's the prob. after 10-12 hours the process status showing 56 %.

how much time it will take normally converting AVI to VCD format ?

to Convert VCD format i need specify Mpeg format etc. ?

or only Selecting VCD is enought in NERO.

my DVD player APEX AD 1500

please help me guys.

thanks in advance.

Use TMPGenc to encode the avi to mpeg1 or 2 format. Then use nero to burn. Personally I use VCDeasy as the burning program. With this there is an extra step because you need to burn as a bin and cue file first but this doesn't take to long.

It also allows you to put chapters in so that when you fast forward you can go to a specific point in the film, or near to it. It will also allow you to put change cd pictures in if its a 2 cd VCD/SVCD.

I have a 1200 athlon and this takes about 3 hrs depending on what settings I want, personally I always try to use the highest quality settings in TMPGenc on the motion precision search but when its an XVID file you can get away with a lower one due to its high quality source!

If you want any more info there are lots of posts on this subject, hope this has been of help.
