I am going through growing pains in putting my home movies on SVCD. I am using NERO as my burning software, WINDVD as my player, and MovieStar as my producing software. I have found I can create regular VCD's easily, but when I try and create an SVCD, WINDVD won't recognize it. Nero (I bought the upgrade to do SVCD's) burns the disk and says it was successful, I get a CD with a file called AVSEQ01 in the MPEG2 folder that looks like it is right as far as size, but nothing seems to play it. WINDVD won't autoplay and I can't get it to play by manually loading the AVSEQ01 file.

There was one post I saw about a file called SCSI1HLP.VXD needing to be on your system, but I did a search on my computer and it is there.

I produce my movies in VCD format with MovieStar and use NERO to convert that to SVCD (which takes forever by the way. Is this normal for a bigger SVCD conversion?)

I am using Verbatim 80 min - 700 MB disk for my burns and they are blue on the back side.

Is this enough info? Help, I spent all my bonus money on all this stuff to put my home VHS movies on CD.
