Maybe VCDEasy? Version 1.1.5.2 is free and I think it will burn for you too.

Just as a passing thought, I'd consider going into the local video/tv repair shop (id there is still such a thing) and see if they have a box of old remotes. (The shop next to me does) (and they are given away)

Hang on ..... You want US to tell YOU what software YOU used when YOU burned it ?

My crystall ball is good, damn good in fact, but that's just asking for miracles

Nero is one possibility, VCDEasy is another. All of the following softwares can also allegedly author VCDs:

My crystal ball has upgrades so one miracle, coming up.
I think (after correcting for some spelling and grammar) the op means to say:

can someone help me by telling me what software program i need to use to burn it, or what program will burn so that when you pop the burned disc into a dvd player it starts right away, no messing with a menu??

When I used to make VCD's I just used regular Nero to burn them without menus. I never bothered with my dvd remote, just popped the disk in and hit the play button right on my dvd player and it would just play all the tracks in order. I'm not sure if you can get it to autoplay without hitting any buttons whatsoever though.

I read it as follows:

I've got a VCD that I burned that starts right away without messing with a menu. Does anyone know what software I may have used to create it ?

He could mean it your way...... do you think we get a cookie if we get the answer right?

[jimmalenko]

What's this "we" business ?

I *think* that might require a feature called PBC to be turned on on your DVD player.

I used DVD2SVCD before I had a DVD burner for SVCDs and it autoplayed with my player. But it depends somewhat on your DVD player.

You can probably pick up a low cost universal remote control that might work with your player, but they often won't do as much as the factory remote. Check a few and see if your player is listed on the package.

BTW, When you post here, we appreciate a more descriptive post title. 'im a newbie, help' is not a proper title. Even 'Which SVCD program to use?' would be better.
