Encode once only!

[themafia_69]

Every time i download an avi or an mpg that is not vcd quality i have to encode it in nero every time and thats a waste of time.Is there any program that has set options so i can encode the file its self into a vcd quality file? so every time i make a vcd it just burns it?

An AVI will never be "VCD quality", since it isn't an MPEG. If an mpg doesn't meet VCD specs, it has to be re-encoded in order to create a compliant VCD.

Never encode in Nero (it gives a shabby encode), just use Nero to burn. Instead, encode to VCD compliance in TMPGEnc using the standard templates, then burn in Nero.

If I change my name to Tom Cruise...does that make me Tom Cruise?

No

You can't just rename a file and expect it to automatically modify it's internal format to match the new extension.
