Hello all. I'm new to this forum and have spent days searching and burning and still can't get a playable VCD.

I've tried TMPGEnc, Nero, Easy CD Creator, VCD Easy to name a few. None of these attempts have resulted in a working VCD that will play in my Magnasonic DVD.
The closest that I have come to a working VCD is one that plays in my DVD, but the image is negative and jumpy with lots of static and screen noise.
Some of these attempts DO work in my computer, and only one auto plays. The rest require you to find a folder to open and you then start the movie from there.
Does anyone have any suggestions that might help. I am willing to try almost anything at this point. I've been using CD-RW's to avoid making coasters, so hit me with some options here people.

Thanks in advance.
