    Use TMPGEnc to convert to SVCD format - then use NERO ONLY to burn (NOT to convert, since you'll have already done that)...

        SVCD (by me)

        To create an SVCD:

        1) Load .AVI file into TMPGEnc
        2) Set to "System Video and Audio" (lower right side)
        3) Click on "Setting" radio button
        4) Click on "System" tab, change mode to "MPEG2-SuperVideoCD (VBR)" (from default of "MPEG1")
        5) Click on "Advanced" tab, change "Video arrange method" to "Center (Custom Size"), change dimensions to 480x480, 352x288 or 352x240.
        6) Change "Source aspect ratio" to either "4:3 525 line (NTSC 704x480)", "4:3 525 line (NTSC)", or "16:9 525 line (NTSC)" - If you're in the PAL world choose either of the two similar PAL settings instead
        7) Under the "Video" tab, change the dimensions to 480x480, 352x288 or 352x240(Note: "Video" tab mode of "MPEG2" is okay) - set "Motion Search Precision" to "Normal Quality".
        8) Change "Rate Control Mode" to "Automatic VBR (CQ_VBR)" - Set bitrate to 2,520Kbps
        9) Press "Start"

        Note that if your video runs longer than approximately 40 minutes, you'll have to subsequently split your MPEG2-SuperVideo CD file into two or three (or more) parts. This too can be easily and precisely accomplished using TMPGEnc. Under the "Files" dropdown menu, click on "MPEG Tools" and select the "Merge & Cut" tab. Once again, make sure to change the mode to "MPEG2-Super VideoCD (VBR)". Load your file and enter a new (.MPG) name in the "Output file" box. Then doubleclick on the ORIGINAL file's name in the window, which will bring you to the cutting area. Select your desired start and end points for the first portion, click on "Okay" which will bring you back to the first window and generate (in a sequence of three automated steps) the first new file. To create the second (and third, if necessary) new file, repeat the steps starting with "Then doubleclick on the ORIGINAL..." (be extra patient with the second half, as the program has to do more seeking to establish the beginning of the new file).

        Then use NERO only to burn the SVCD (not to create it, which you've already done).

          Cheers mate.Just out of interest,how long should this take? I discovered SVCD and VCD outputs in FLASK,but it reckoned it was to take 25 hours and looked to be outputting a MEG per minute!,
          also,whats an "open DML avi and a bbMPEG? thx for ur time.

            "Cheers mate."
            My pleasure ;>}

            The time required depends upon your system. Do the procedure once and you'll have a good sense of this.

            You'll get better results using TMPGEnc - and you can't use Flask to convert .AVIs (DivX-compressed or otherwise). Flask recognizes only MPEG formats (MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG2 .VOB) for input...
