I have a movie i downloaded, after some work (it was a ac3 audio) I got it to a mpg that works perfectly on my computer, then I followed directions on a guide "to create a VCD" which seemed to work. When I tried to burn as a VCD in nero I got an error message "invalid video stream" and below that it asked (turn off standard and continue) or (re encode video) so I hit turn off standard and nero began to burn. When it was done, I check the disk and there were some files on it, so what the hey I put in my DVD player and it said loading, then play, then stop. Can some one help me with this? I have been reading and working on this now for about 25 hours, and I feel I'm very close, (I have done another movie successfully so I know i can do it) this one is just a bear. thanks for any help

vcd as well as Svcd have strict specs your file has to stick to.

vcdhelper.com can give you an overview

Hi there, you cant just disregard error messages and expect things to still work out fine
What type of file did you download ? a MPEG, AVI ? You mention you got it to a MPEG is that the ac3 audio or that AVI ? and how did you do this ?

To tell the truth I can't remember what the original was, just that I now have a mpg that works great on my computer and I would like to put it on a CD to play on my DVD player. Can you help me? thanks

Although it works on your PC it still may not be a compliant MPEG file. You may want to re-encode it with TMGEnc to be certain that is is a compliant MPEG file or perhaps Repackitize it with M1-Edit/M2-Edit (not as MPEG but VCD). Than drag and drop the new MPEG file over in NERO to create your VCD.
