are you pressing >> or >>|

The first is Fast Forward the second is next Chapter. If you dont put chapters on, pushing the second wont do anything.

Try a different DVD player. The first 5 DVDs I made wouldn't fast forward (or reverse) on my DVD player. Then I tried them on my sister's and it worked fine. So I tried them on 4 other DVD players and they worked fine.

make sure you have a file called "scandata.dat" in the EXT folder of your VCD.

when i make a vcd i only have 1 mpeg layer 1 file where is all this scan data and how can i get my vcd's to fast foward and rewind?

please help

[poopyhead]

you read anything in my post????

in the VCD you've created, there will be a folder called EXT.

using windows explorer, you can go into that folder and see which files are in it.

there should be a file called scandata.dat

where can i find scandata in a mpeg file? help me please how can i fast foward my vcds?

Don't get your hopes up cause i'm having the same problem with SVCD that are greater then 35 minutes and scandata.dat didn't do the trick.

But if you want the file just use your favorite seachengine and type +scandata.dat +download

Greatings,

[miteshc]

sorry about that i have just found scandata.dat so why won't my vcds fast foward or rewind? please someone help

[grossjamesh]

What you have is a data CD with an MPEG file. It appears that you do not
have the vcd structure on the cd.
Look up the how to on VCD authoring.

when i create a vcd it comes out with the normal 5 folders and i have scandata.dat so can anybody tell me why they won't fast foward or rewind? but they still play fine.
