VCD header trick, how I loathe you!

[Heflink]

Alright, I know there have been countless threads about the VCD header trick in the past, but when I looked through those I found very few problems actually being resolved. When I attempt to add the header to an SVCD, <edited> the multiplex goes okay everything seems fine, but when I try to burn it it says that it wont fit on a the media. I have tried setting the overburn setting higher, that seems to do nothing. I have tried it on the setting type MPEG-1 Video CD non standard, MPEG-1 Video CD and MPEG-1 system.. noe of which have worked.. It also has occured to me that the entire problem would be fixed if I could figure some way to turn the mpeg back into an image (in this case an iso of a VCD).

I have never gotten the header trick to work (and my DVD player plays SVCDs so I really dont have to usually. but my gf's inferior player dosnt play em'.. anywho) I have the feeling i am making a really stupid error. anyone?

I've sort of given up on the header trick since the audio usually gets cut off on the end of each disc. I've been re-encoding to VCD and taking the opportunity to crop out watermarks on parts and also choose better spots for the CD change.

I was right.. it was a really really stupid mistake.. I would set the Video settings to Video-CD, then select the file, which would reset the Video settings to Super Video-CD (VBR). I'm retarded.

well i have a mintek and it dose not play svcd about a week ago i had just gotten TTT dvd scr and the die another day and they would both frezz in the first 30 sec so after doing the header fake they all work 99.9 % only problem is that on each cd the last 10 sec of audio is ALWAYS out of sync
