[tuviere]

Good day all

I have a lot of downloaded Mpeg, Avi and compressed files of both Mpeg and Avi's.

How do i convert these files to VCD cos i really don't know how.

I tried to copy some of the files to CD using the make VCD on my WinOnCD software and when i played the cd on my cd player i founf out only five minutes of the 45 min video was recoreded.

So please, please can some one tell me how i could solve my problem

Use one of it's VCD templates.
Nero will also do it but in inferior quality IMHO.

how to burn it on cd

thank u Edge

right now am converting the mpeg file to vcd using the TMPGEnc
i have another question, when it finishes how do iburn it on cd, like i told u b4 i have WinOnCD software and when i burn the last Cd i only got 5 min of the possible 45 min video, it work on my player but showed just five mins.

So please do u know how i could burn it on CD.

And giving that u know much about Videos, can u please tell me how can tell the downloaded Mpeg are not already mpeg1 and if the y are do i need to convert them again.

i guess what am trying to say in a sumary is that i have mpeg files very many and i need to know if they're already video cd format how do i burn it and get the whole thing on the disk

sorry for the very long question

You can then burn the VCD using Nero or Easy CD Creator Platinum. I do not recommend using ECDC though so go with nero.
Use the wizard then click on compile a new CD then click Video CD then everything is self explainitory form then on

Nero

So i guess using my WinOnCD is out of the question.

Where can i find this Nero?

Hey thanks for such fast and helpful response.

Nero will tell you if the file is VCD complient or not when you select it. If you use the VCD templates, you'll be ok.

I love happy endings! Please post back, tuviere, and let us know if you have success in playing the VCDs that you make with Nero. I'm hoping to learn from your experience. Thanks.
