[multimediaguy]

Hello, I am trying to find a program that will allow me to burn AVI on CDr's CD's I do not have a DVD burner yet... I found this program and my problem now is this, When I go to open one of my AVI files from there DiVX playa it is giving me a error saying 'can not open from location' is there any way to fix this problem?

What are you using to burn the video? Also the Video file on the cd is probably read only. or your cd drive is too slow to play back the video directly.

I use Adobe Premiere 6.0 to make my movies. Then I would like to put them on CD to play in a DVD player,, I guess I would use Nero or something like it,, I thought CD squeeze allows you to burn CD's ... I will have to look at this again! Do you know of any other software that does it all?

what do you mean by "it all"?

If what i understand from your writing, then you want to convert a regular .avi movie file to a VideoCD so you can play it on your dvd player. TO do this: Get TMPGenc and convert your avi file to NTSC VCD (im assuming youre in North America). THen, when it finishes, itll usually take a few hours depending on the movie size, open up NERO Burning Rom and select "VCD" , select the .mpg file that TMPGenc converted for you and select it, then BURN

gm_nimrod,,

Thanks man yes you got it the first time! Thanks for the info I will try this tonight, I think Nero is the best burnning software out there right now I have down loaded a few different ones and they just dont seem to burn everything?....

Have you burnned a Movie on CDR to test it in a DVD player before? If this works this will be the coolest thing.!

The TMPGenc is a plugin for nero I guess,, right?

Yea Nero is deffinatly the best Burning program for vcds. if you have a newer dvd player it will most likely read the vcd burned on a cdr. The way you can tell if it will before you fool with burning a vcd is by trying to play a music cd that you burned on your computer. if it works then you shouldbe able to play vcd. TMPGEnc is not a plug in it is a completly different program for converting various video types to Mpeg 1 (vcd) or Mpeg 2( svcd).

Some (older) dvd players dont play vcd though, so if at first it doesnt work, tell us on the forum and check your dvd manual to see if it says anything about vcd/svcd playback.

My DVD Player plays MP3's so yes it will work is there anything else that I should install in nero before I try this?

[gd_nimrod]

I think you misunderstood...TMPGenc is NOT something you install in NERo. TMPGenc is a program for converting .avi movies into mpeg-1 (vcd) and mpeg-2 (svcd). Make sure to download TMPGenc, then install (just unzip) the file into a folder, the select the video file that you want to convert and set it to NTSC VCD. When its done converting (will take a while) open nero, select "video cd" and select the file that you converted which will have an ".mpg" extension.

Do i really have to use a DVD player to play the movie after conveting? How about using a VCD player?
