EZ CD Creator 4 Deluxe only burns standard VCDs so your video will have to be VCD compliant MPEG-1 files. If you click on "What is VCD" on the menu to the left, you'll see the specs that it has to be.
SVCDs use MPEG-2, but Easy CD creator 4 cannot create SVCDs.
BTW, MPEG-1/2 Layer 1/2 refers to the audio. Both VCDs and SVCDs use audio encoded in MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio.

well from the mpegprop i downloaded it.. it says its an mpg layer 2 ( thats under the audio tab) how can i get that to layer 1 so i can put it on a vcd?
thanks -
Read my previous post carefully. The audio is supposed to be in MPEG-1 Layer 2.
There is something else wrong with your MPEG file. What does Easy CD Creator say is wrong?

1084

Okay.
Play the MPEG in Windows Media Player. Look at it's properties (File --> Properties). You should be able to read the spes of the mpeg.
For a MPEG to have even a chance of being VCD compliant it must first have the following:
encoding (video): MPEG-1
framesize: 352x240 (NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL)
framerate: 29.97fps (NTSC) or 25fps (PAL -- or 23.976fps (NTSC FILM)
video bitrate: 1150 kbit/s
encoding (audio): MPEG-1 Layer 2
bitrate: 224 kbit/s
audio: 44.1 kHz, 16bit stereo
If any of the above are wrong, then your MPEG can't be VCD compliant without re-encoding.
If all the above are correct, you could try demultiplexing and remultiplexing your MPEG. You can do this with TMPGEnc (File --> MPEG Tools). If you do it this way, make sure you select MPEG-1 Video-CD for the muxing rather than MPEG-1 Auto.

ok i converted another movie and it has...
all that stuff im pretty sure but i still get an error... it says system clock reference. with the little red X next to it ... and it still wont burn.. and it had a number next to it, it was like 1058 or something like that.. what do i do, do u know??
thanks for all ur help
Cory -
What are you using to convert it to VCD ?. TMPGENc has templates that you can load, this then produces a VCD mpeg that is exactly correct.
The red X indicates the "exact" fault, it tells you what it is !! 1058 sounds like kbit/s this is not correct.
Video-CD PAL (MPEG-1 352x288 25fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)
As you can see from this PAL VCD, its 1150kbps. -
i know but im still having problems... i keep getting the system clock reference error... and it wont burn i dont know... any help is much appriciated..

Burn with Nero, it surpasses EZ Cd creator so much, it's disgusting. You are using the videoCD template when you re-encode, right?
-
where can i get a copy of nero im pretty sure i have it on my computer but it wont work cause i already used my free trial thing
-
Hi Again
Ok, you are not loading the template when you are using TMPGEnc, so it is not producing a fully compliant VCD mpeg.
Use the template you will not have any problems with Easy cd creator, unlike a million users on here who constantly complain about Nero !! don't take my word search the messages.
he he
