what shell I do... WHAT SHELL I DO ???

When converting *avi to *mpeg with TMPGEnc I did this:

Video

Stream type MPEG-2

Size 352x288
Aspect ratio 4:3 Display
Frame rate 25 fps

Rate control mode Constant bitrate (CBR)
Bitrate 1150 kbit/sec
VBV buffer size 0 (Automatic)
Profile and level Main Profile & Main Level
Video format PAL
YUV format 4:2:0
DC coefficient precision 8 bits
Motion search accuracy High quality


Audio

Stream type MPEG-1 Audio Layer II

Sampling frequency 44100 Hz
Channel mode Stereo
Bit rate 224 kbit/s



System

Stream type MPEG-2 Super Video CD (VBR)



Advanced

Video source type Non-Interlaced

Field order Even field first
Source Aspect Ratio 4:3 625 line (PAL)
Image positioning method Fit to frame (preserve aspect ratio)


blah,blah,blah

So my point being:

It all works swell, when I play it on my computer, BUT-when I try to play it on my -stand alone- DVD player (X-wave), I get a dick.
X-wave is capably of playing VCD’s ( I know ‘cause I have a couple of those-obviously- done by someone else ).

When I compare properties of the one’s that work with the one of mine, the only difference (as far as I can see !?) is that, the good once are *DAT files and mine are *MPG.

CAN ANYONE HEEEEEELP !!!

Please !

typically if you open the folder mpegav on the disc and its a dat file then you have a VCD, if you open the folder and its mpg then its SVCD (typically).
