Hi, There

Have you tried to burn the VCD using Nero (VCD Option) I use it all the time and it works perfect.
I haven't try any other software to burn VCDs never had the need.

Do you select the VCD template in the burner software? You cannot just burn the file and make a CD-ROM with the movie on it. A VCD is formated and stuctured is a special way only used for VCD's. Nero is the most common VCD burner software. It has burning templates for VCD and SVCD creation.

You have to have that option in the burning software in order to create a VCD, you can't just drop the file and burn it as a data cd. Yes, it needs a special structure, check the "how to author VCD" Guide, to your left.
