What format ??

[MikeB7]

Hi

I have a question.I'm burning a vcd but I want pictures on it also so they will be visible in my DVD media. I know it is possible but when I burn a vcd with some pics on it I can't keep them on my TV, they blink and dissapeare momentarely.The format for the pics which I have is JPEG perhaps that's causes the problem ? Please help me out. Thx in advance.

Well, you could make the images part of the VCD MPEG. Video Studio can do this very easily. TMPGEnc can do it, but you need to mux it with a dummy sound that last as long as you want the JPEG to be displayed.

Thx for the reply.Can u tell me how can I mix the pic with the dummy sound?I already have the TMPGen so it is more convinient to do it the other way. thx

Use Gold Wave. Select File-->New. Adjust the time to how long you want the image to be displayed. Save as a wave file. Load TMPGEnc Plus. Load the JPEG as video and the wave file as audio. Name the output file and select Start. The resultant file will be an MPEG file that shows only your JPEG and have no sound.

OK great I'll do that and I'll let u know if it worked out. Thx again dude

I have two of the porgrams but Im having some problems with the gold wave.When I click on the file-->new there's no option like wave or something. Can you explain it more specifically ? I know I'm doing something wrong. Should I open the pic first ? thx

1. Select Fil-->New. Select the time you want your JPEG to be displayed in Length. Select OK.

2. A blank sound graph will appear.

3. Select File-->Save As. When the box appears, ensure Wave file is selected, name your wave file, select Save. A empty wave file has just been created.

I just ran into a problem.After I created the wav file I opened the TMPG program and as u said before I put the wav file as audio and the JPEG as video. I converted it and Tried to record it as vcd using NERO.And the problem is when I drag the the new file already converted I get a message:the given file is invalid.Need MPEG1 which was encoded for VCD.
The following problems were :
stream encoding which is invalid for VCD
no adudio
no video'
Tha's the message.ANd I dont know what might have gone wrong.Thx

I would recommend taking a look to the left under Author at the 'author a VCD slide show' guide. There are several programs that can do this for you. The easiest way IMHO is with VCD Easy (you can d/load an older freeware verison either under tools or at http://www.doom9.org).

VCD Easy will allow you to just drag/drop you jpg files to author a VCD.
