making vcd's (1 Viewer)

[littleman]

i have .avi and .mpeg movies on my computer and i want to burn them to a CD (i domnt have a dvd burner) so i can play them in my dvd player....

how do i go about doing this??

 

[[N]otorious]

get a converter from download.com

search around and read up on it.

 

[MuffinMan]

use nero ---> vcd option

Yeh but get a converter that makes proper .mpeg for vcd.. coz apparently ppl makes different version of mpegs. I personally use TMPG Encode for doing that, 30 days trial.

 

[MuffinMan]

or u can use nero...if u have nero then u wont pay for another converter...

 

[[N]otorious]

who says u have to pay
just use the damn thing and delete it....

whats wrong with nero?

 

[AntiHyper]

Nero haven't got an mpeg converter built-in. I use it for the final leg of a vcd, svcd creating.

 

[MuffinMan]

dunno i use to use it and it came out fine .

i use nero. It works with some DVD players, but should work with VCD players.

In many cases, you can just burn the files to a cd, and they will open straight off on your dvd player.

I try this first, and 95% of the time the files work.

Otherwise I use TMPG encoder as anti-hyper said.

mpg files yes, perhaps on some DVD players, .avi i doubt any big name brand would play them, let alone non modded ones.

wow! someone on this forum agrees with me
told u can use nero!

nero however, won't convert all *.avi's

It can..just takes a bit of fiddling around and plugins...which on most occasions doesnt warrant the quality loss.
