Ok, I just started learning how to make VCDs. I have made a few of them from smaller AVI files, and they worked fine on my dvd player. So now i decided to take a large DivX movie and put it on two VCDs. I split the video into two files using Virtualdub. Both of the halves played fine. I started with the first half of the movie by saving the WAV file using Virtualdub, then I used TMPGEnc to convert the AVI to an MPEG-1.
After the converstion, I played the new MPEG file to see if it worked before I burned it, and there is no video, its just a black screen. The audio track works fine, just no picture.
I have no idea what I did wrong. I did the same thing I have done for my other AVI files, which all worked fine.
Can anyone help me?

you probably need some codecs, go to tools and download the Nimo Codec pack. pz.

I once had this happen. It may be codec related as stated in the earlier reply but if you can play the AVI files this is unlikely.
The time I had this happen I just reencoded it again and it was OK. Check you have the latest version of TMPGEnc. I known some say that some earlier versions were better, but for MPEG-1 the latest is great in my opinion.
Please note that TMPGEnc has some problem with AVI files > 4 Gb.
You can also try increasing the priority of the Open DML File Reader in TMPGEnc (Options, Environmental Settings, VFAPI Plus In, right click on it) -
Thanks....I'll give it a try
