Help making a VCD play right.

[wwwabbit]

OK... I am very new at this, but have learnt a whole lot in the FAQ's... but I am still stuck
What I got:
Computer:
Win2k, lots of hard drive space, Lite-on 40x12x48 burner.
Tmpegenc, Virtualdub, Vcdeasy, Nero 5.5.8.0 (came with writer)

DVD player: Koss KD260-2 (yes, I have enabled the VCD option)

I have 3 other VCD's that a friend made for me, they work... So I know it will play VCD's

I have tried to make a VCD on my computer, little sucess
History
Made a VCD in Nero, it converted the movie and burnt the disk - no work
Made a SVCD in Nero, it converted the movie and burnt the disk - no work
Made a VCD in Nero taking off the CDi mode it converted the movie and burnt the disk - no work
Took my movie file following the FAQ on here took the audio out, used Tmpegenc (but after noticed that I didn't change the FPS or the resolution<duh>)to make the mpeg, used Nero to burn it - no work
Used Tmpeg and only did 2 min of the movie with the correct res and FPS, used Vcdeasy as a V1.1 VCD and it worked <WOOHOO, I did a little dance, the wife looked at me like I was crazy>
So, I changed the end marker in Tmpegend to do the first 60 min of the movie, and then burnt the CD with Vcdeasy as a V1.1 VCD and sat down to wach my movie (part 2 was just about done being made) It didn't work

So, what do you guys think I am doing wrong? Any idea why it would play a 2 min clip, but not read the 60 min CD? It fit on the CD no problems, no errors when it was burning...
Thoughts?

Thanks!

I have the same burner and i find that burning over 8x makes it suck. when i get up to 40x it doesnt work period. now I use 4x to burn with.

First I suggest verifying that you can play your created VCDs with a software player (see the tools section) on the PC.

I also suggest you try authoring/burning with a trial copy of Ulead DVD Moviefactory (www.ulead.com). You can still encode using TMPGEnc and import into DVDMF, or let DVDMF do the encode.
