Encoding VCD Problems

[fozzieb]

Hi there,

When i encode avi files to VCD and then burn the disc I am getting blocky pictures in parts of the VCD, I asked about this before and I was told i was burning the disc at too high a speed, I am now using a burnproof cd-rw and burning at only 8 speed (cd's are 24x).

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have an Athlon 2000XP with 256Mb DDR

Personally I never burn higher than 4x, but that's my preference.

it might be that if it is a NTSC or PAL film ur dvd player doesnt suppports the correct format so u will need to check the menu in in the dvd player check for RGB output.

Or try a cdrw discs that happened to me i know they are expensive but atleast ur not wasting thousands of cdrs just to burn at a slow speed.

mickle's right. i also had problems with my vcd's skipping because i burnt them too fast. i went down to 4x and have'nt had any problems since.

The mpeg has probably got faults at those parts, replay the disk to see if they are at the same location each time?

I burn at 40X with no problems, old worn out writers may have problems, but not so on new writers.

I have now burned 2 VCD's using VCDEasy (4x) instead of Nero,
Both discs play fine.

I have never used VCDEasy before, looks complicated, although i did manage to add chapter support

Thanks for all the advice (god the internet is an amazing place)
