how to burn a downloaded VCD ???

[Japhy]

I've just downloaded the content of a VCD. It contains the folders VCD, SEGMENT, MPEGAV, EXT, CDI, CDDA and KARAOKE.

How do I burn these to obtain a VCD that can be played back on my DVD-player ?
I've tried to create a VCD using Nero, but it wouldn't let me burn the CD when I dragged the folders to the lefthand window...

You have all the parts of a VCD. Nero takes the mpeg file and makes those folders. either commbine the folders uising some vcd program or jsut download the avi

[Japhy]

that's just what I would like to know: which VCD-program to use...

I know that Nero uses the MPEP-files as source, but as I don't have them I need to find something else...
I also tried the search engine, but couldn't find anything yet...

Plz, just one short hint - it can't be that hard, can it ?

im not really sure how to burn the folders to cd I would jst try burning it as a data cd. If that dosent work find a program that is for converting Vcd to Mpeg and burning that way

Run NERO
Select VCD
In the EXTREME right window, open YOUR "VCD" folder. Drag and drop the contents of YOUR "VCD" folder into the "VCD" folder in either of the two left-side windows.

Do the same (one folder at a time) with each of the remaining corresponding folders.

For the "CDDA" and "Karaoke" folders, which don't exist in the standard VCD setup, drag and drop each of these FOLDERS into either of the two left-side windows.

Let us know of your success ;>}

that's exactly what I did, but it doesn't let me burn the CD....

The button "start burning" (don't know what it's called in English exactly since I use the german version of Nero) stays greyed out. But it does show the lenght of the VCD in the status bar

Im using Nero 5.5.9.0 if that is of any relevance...

The only other plausible alternative would be to do the following:

Run NERO

Select VCD

Open YOUR "MPEGAV" folder and drag and drop the file (most probably named "AVSEQ01.DAT") into the bottom left window (You should then see NERO analyzing this file)

For the "CDDA" and "Karaoke" folders, which don't exist in the standard VCD setup, drag and drop each of these FOLDERS into either of the two left-side windows.

You should then, hopefully, be able to burn as VCD...

Perhaps try VCDEasy

Thanks for all the hints !

It worked. I dragged the file from MPEGAV to the lower left window.
