Easy VCD concern...

[skip2mylou]

hello everyone, i used Easy VCD and this guide (http://www.angelfire.com/ex2/mgvcd/index.html) to rip my DVD to a VCD, i followed all the specifications, but i end up with a BIN and CUE which equals about 780 MB. my question is, how do i burn this onto a standard 700 MB CD, what burning program do i use? thanks

[reboot]

CloneCD.

@ reboot

ok i have CloneCD, but i need to burn a BIN/CUE, i see that it only accepts CCD, what do i do...? thanks

Nero Burning Rom, VCDEasy, Xduplicator, CDRDao to mention. You mistake is probably that you want to burn a file. You must burn CD image and point the applcation to the .cue file.
Oops, sorry it seems you make everything right. Also CDburnerXP I think. Or maybe CDMage to convert it to ISO and burn with DVDDecrypter. Maybe CDMage can convert even to CCD, well I don't know.
BTW XDuplicator is an front end to CDRDao.

Next time check out the F.A.Q. eh ?

thanks everyone, i used CDRWin to burn the VCD, it was pretty easy, the trial version one. so thanks again.

i do however have another request. now that i have a BIN/CUE, how can i add chapters to the file, and burn that to a VCD? can i just type in the chapter information into the CUE file, or do i have to physically change the BIN, and if so, how do i change the BIN...? thanks

Chapter must be set before creating the cue/bin. Never used EasyVCD, so I can't say for sure, but it ought to support chapter points.

[skip2mylou]

ok thanks, is there a program u know of that can create chapter points and output a BIN/CUE?

[lantern]

It has been a while since I used EasyVCD, but I think you can just create the mpeg1 file. Load this into VCDEasy and it will let you add chapter points. You can then used VCDEasy to create and burn the bin/que files. I believe that there is a freeware version of VCDEasy available.

[skip2mylou]

thanks, that will work

[mats.hogberg]

VCDEasy. But that's not a one click wonder application - it's a dedicated app for authoring (S)VCD.
Of course, you could create your cue/bin with EasyVCD, extract the mpg with VCDGear, reauthor mpg with VCDEasy, but that seems like a roundabout way...

[skip2mylou]

when creating the image, VCDEasy looks like this, is it anything to be concerned about?

[mats.hogberg]

Looks fine. These warnings are just that - warnings. But the audio bit rate seems to be completely wrong - is there anything special about the audio stream that you know?

PS! You're a brave man - taking screen shots in the middle of a CD burn process DS

[dvdfreak123]

seems to be an off spec vcd with 128bit audio

to add chapters just use vcdeasy to extract the mpg then add chapters and reburn with vcdeasy

But it seems it is at CD image creation still.

Ah - correct!

Does Eazy VCD support chapters?
Yes, but only when outputting to a BIN/CUE image.
(NOTE: chapters will only work in your DVD Player if you have PCB turned on.
Please see your DVD manual about how to turn PCB on and off)

I dunno why you're messing around with trying to insert chapters, when your BIN/CUE should already have them

[skip2mylou]

so im not brave... , jk lol.

anyways, how can i just output the bin with chapters onto my comp and record later instead of burning right away with VCDEasy. i would prefer to output the BIN/CUE with VCDEasy and burn with a different program.

[jimmalenko]

You don't need to use VCDEasy at all, dude. EazyVCD when output to BIN/CUE mode, automatically includes the chapter points, so all you have to do is burn them at your leisure.

[skip2mylou]

no it didn't. when i used EazyVCD to rip my DVD files to BIN/CUE, i later burned it and there were no chapter points.

IM SORRY Jimmalenko, i am probably wrong, it might be the PCB thingy

[jimmalenko]

Was that on your computer or on your DVD Player ? As the FAQ mentions above, you need PCB turned on on your DVD Player for the chapters to work, and I know from experience that BIN/CUE does definitely put the chapters in, so ...

[skip2mylou]

once again u were correct, i went thru my dvd player's setting and guess what was turned off, yep. i turned it on and all is well, thanks so much. i guess my questin has been answered.


thanks again to ANYBODY who lent advice, it was much appreciated, much thanks for putting up with my NEWBIE-NESS.

[rhetorical]omg do problems ever stop happening? [/rhetorical]

i played the VCD on my standalone, and the freakin thing is SOOO choppy, like absolutely no fluidity, is there anyway to fix this, is it my DVD player or the Disk??
