Nero Errors

[khan8613]

wheni try to open a video file on nero, i get this:
"You are using a beta version of the encoder. Due to patent license restrictions, the MPEG2 encoding/converting is not available..."

the rest says i have to purchase the MPEG-2 codec plugin at the official website, which i cant really do.

Im tryin to make a VCD out of my video file, is there anyway around this? can i get any other burner software which will allow me to do this? i was able to do so with roxio easy CD creator but the quality of the disc was below unacceptable, it was extremely poor. I heard that nero is the best, so please someone hlp.

thanks.

there is no way around it, you must buy the mpeg-2 plugin to convert to dvd/svcd/vcd with nero.

you could convert the video with with 'tmpgenc', using the svcd template, and then burn with nero

how do you do that? can you do that with virtualdub?
