Unable to view VCD on DVD

[bappida69]

Somebody help!! I have a TOSHIBA SD 1200 where I tried to play a VCD burnt using the standard Adaptec CD creator(is that correct??). But I get a disc error. I saw in one of the forums that Memorex CD-RW 700MB, 4X works with Toshiba. But no luck. Before Memorex, I tried Verbatim CD-R, but no luck there also. This is my initial attempts at creating all this, but I seem to have run into the wall so early itself!!

Any help is welcome

hmm try using nero to burn VCD's, ive always had sucess with it. Try burning at 2X, it might help ur DVD player to read it

Thanks for the response.Tried using Nero 5.5.When I am dragging and dropping the file, I get the following message:
Invalid audio stream 44000 Hz, 2 channels.

I had converted the DIVX file to MPEG format using TMPGEnc earlier.

Please help.

I have a Compaq presario machine(CD writer included). On going through Nero website for the recorders supported, Compaq is not on the list !! Does it mean that I cannot burn VCD using Compaq machine and Nero 5.5??

Please help.

I heard that pyrod silver/blue CD-Rs work well with the toshiba 1200 burnt at 1x speed using nero.

Can I use my Compaq PC to burn VCD using NERO??

Thanks.

Your compaq might or might not have a compaq cd-rw, I'd say download the demo and try it.

I used to have a compaq with DVD rom, but the drive was really a Mitsubishi.

It won't hurt trying it.

Thanks Alfonso. How do I figure out which drive my Compaq machine has. And I already tried burning the VCD with Nero, but I did not succeed. It was not reading the CD recorder.

Please help!!

Are all the files converted into proper VCD format??
and what brand is your burner???

you said there was an audio error for 2 channel, think the audio has to be VCD compliant before u can burn it to VCD format, u may have to re-encode the whole movie again
