portable player wont play tmpgenc vcd's

[cypher007]

ive located the cause of all my vcd problems TMPGENC. is there another program i can use, i have cce 2.5 but would need a guide on how to use it for vcd streams. i tried using cce last night and got a buffer overflow at about 14mb.

How did you determine that TMPGEnc is at fault?

Do you know for a fact that your player can playback ANY burned VCDs (as opposed to commercial pressed VCDs)?

If it can playback burned VCDs, have you tried using different brands of CD-Rs? Many players are "finicky" about which brands of CD-R they'll recognize...

Are you also sure that tmpgenc was producing a vcd-stream and not an mpeg1 stream.

When you burn it you will notice that a mpeg1 header will make the video take up much more space than is necessary on the cd-r, approx 10% more.

thanks for the posts

ive tried dvd2svcd and these streams seem to work fine, with the odd momentary freeze, even on cdrw's overburnt to 82min. by the way how do i burn the .bin created by vcdimager (as vcdxbuild keeps crashing out on the xml parsing) without a .cue. ive got nero, cdrwin and clone.

[Thingy]

cdrwin might be able to burn the bin only. or if you think you can write the cue yourself. take a look how they are written by ripping one of the svcds you've got in cdrwin.

its ok found the .cue

i had the files sorted by size and completely missed the .cue file dohh!! i do have another question though why cant i create a vcd 99min's long? every time i tell dvd2svcd to use one 900mb disc for anything upto 100min it always ends up 90min long. does this mean i have to manually enter 999 on the bitrate page to get a 99min disc?
