A VCD can have several features and menus. So in general it's more complicated than just a direct translation of one single MPEG.Originally Posted by tomlee59

AlanHK -- Yes, you're absolutely right, of course. If the structure is more complicated than just a movie, the cue sheet is needed. Thanks!
Disturbed1 -- I definitely have more larnin' to do, but perhaps I'm not alone in that need. In the case of a simple movie, if the burning app knows in advance it's to create a VCD (burn in Mode 2 -- as explicitly stated), then the bin file has all of the information needed, in principle. A Mode 2 disc backs off on the amount of error correction to allow 2336 bytes of user data in the 2352-byte sectors (not 2352 sectors). A normal (mode 1) disc has 2048 user bytes per 2352-byte sector, allowing much more error correction. Instructing the burning app to use Mode 2 avoids the Nero problem you describe. -
tomlee the problem becomes not a lot of apps can burn mode2/FORM2. it's different from a standard mode2 burn. NOT 2336 but 2332 bytes/block.

I thought that the optional 4-byte EDC code is used in VCDs (making it 2336bytes/sector), but apparently not. Do you happen to know what they use that extra space for?

just to mess with burning apps if it's not burned correctly they lose the ability to seek - no ff rw or correct chapters and often the audio goes out of sync.
crap it's been so long i got the numbers wrong it's 2324 data and the extra 8 bytes were reserved for interactive data, called a subheader and an optional 4 byte edc.
The different Modes that can exist on CD :
Audio (2352 bytes / block User Data, 2352 Bytes / block Raw data)
Mode 1 (2048 bytes / block User Data, 2352 Bytes / block Raw data)
Mode 2 (2336 bytes / block User Data, 2352 Bytes / block Raw data)
Mode 2 Form 1 (2048 bytes / block User Data, 2352 Bytes / block Raw data)
Mode 2 Form 2 (2324 bytes / block User Data, 2352 Bytes / block Raw data)--

I could have sworn that VCDEasy 1.1.5.2 (last free one) came with CDRAO or something in the package. It already burned.
Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

i think the last version without media player integration was 1.1.2 it can still be found in weird little places like this.
