Burning Mpegs....Problem.

[egad666]

I'm using EazyVCD to rip DVD to VCD Mpeg. Resulting Mpeg looks great on WinMediaPlayer, but after burning to CD-r I get video choppiness and slowdown, no problem with audio.

I'm using a bitrate of around 1000 or so and file splitting to 2 CD-r. I'm using EasyCDCreator to burn......don't have NERO. Why would my burner have a problem burning raw Mpeg files? Should I convert to bin/cue images then burn with CDRDAO? Will this give me better results?

Any comments would be appreciated. I've been running into a new challenge every time I overcome the previous. I feel that this is the final hurdle and would like to be enjoying some quality VCDs. Thanks in advance.

Some DVD Players don't support "Raw" MPEGs. Burn it in VCD Form and see if that helps. You could also burn your files with VCDEasy.

try upping your bitrate to say 1300 . this makes it a nonstd vcd (XVCD) but should play and will give you better quality. ANd try some decent quality media .. some dvd players prefer CDRW to CDR.

Well, I'm using a hacked Apex AD1200, it supports raw Mpeg. CDRDAO is the program used in VCDEasy. The bin/cue images I've burned before gave me the same results. I just don't understand how an Mpeg file gets distorted on it's way to CD. Does this happen?

I recommend downloading nero and burning Mpegs properly with the vcd stuff.

Also i don't recommend useing Easy VCD.The guy that made still has a bunch of bugs to work out.I've tried ecodeing to both VCD and SVCD with it and it always came out kinda crappy.SVCDs were always jumpy&shakey and VCDs looked crappy and had some audio sync problems

You should try ripping the Vobs.Then encodeing them just useing TMPGenc.I do that and have none of the problems that occured with i used Easy Vcd along with all the crazy stuff it does during the encodeing process.

Also if you burn as a std vcd or svcd rather than mpg files you wont lose much space but you can test out your discs on other peoples machines. I use dvd2avi tmpenc and nero and get great results ... I particularly like svcd as I feel its almost up to dvd quality.
