hi. i have this file montypython.avi, which is encoded in divx avi. i used tmpgenc to convert to an mpeg-1 which is 352x420. ive tried everything in the forums to make a vcd out of this. however, my dvd player always says that it cannot play this disc. I know it supports vcd's, cause my cuzin made a vcd, and played it in my player. It said vcd 2.0 on the top if that helps. anyhoo, ive tried everything and cant make a good vcd. Ive first used vision express to try and burn the mpg, but it didn't work. then i tried to make a bin/cue file with VCD gear. i then burned that with nero. it still didn't work. the "vcd" it made had these folders:
cdi --> cdi_imag.rtf, cdi_text.fnt, cdi_vcd.app, cdi_vcd.cfg
ext --> lot_x.vcd, psd_x.vcd, scandata.dat
mpegav --> avseqo1.dat
segment --> (empty)
vcd --> entries.vcd, info.vcd, lot.vcd, psd.vcd

when comparing it to my cousins vcd, his has actual mpeg files in mpegav folder. i dont have a clue what to do and im running out of cd's. ive followed the 100% thread, with no luck as i said. Maybe i need to make a 2.0 vcd or something? Any help would be appreciated! thanks
*edit: do i have to take the dat file from mpegav, use vcdgear to go to dat-->mpeg, and then that mpeg-->cue/bin? It seems a little like going in circles to me, but is that what u have to do? Will it again burn a dat file in mpegav, or this time an mpeg file? thanks

Im new to all this so i try to tell u what i did and see if it works cause mine are playin with no problem

First forget nero they wouldnt play when i made them with nero

1) Convert the avi to a mpeg2 NOT a mpeg1 using TMPGEn

U can make it a mpeg2 by clicking other settings on tmpgenc on the video tab under stream type

2) load vcd gear , find the mpeg and do a mpeg > mpeg conversion make sure "fix mpeg errors" is checked

After the click the video cd tab still on vcd gear and find the fixed mpeg than convert it to a cue/bin file

3) Burn the cue/bin file on a program called burnatonce (free program)

should play in your dvd player no problem does for me everytime

let me know how it works out

i dont want to convert to SVCD for two reasons.
1) i'll have to put on 3 disks instead of 2
2) i cant get it widescreen, even if i make it 16:9

i already converted to mpeg1. I am stuck. How do i make it so the mpeg is actually in the mpegav folder? i think thats what my problem is. ive tried making this a bin/cue and burning it w/ no luck. do i have to convert this mpeg to mpeg and then to a bin/cue? is there any way i could maybe burn an mpeg1 to an SVCD, w/o converting to mpeg2, so that i could still fit more data? thanks

well if u wanna be able to fit more data on a disc u can make a kvcd which i do and u can fit up to 2 hours on 1 disc and quality is still good

to make a kvd u need to download

KVCD Templates for TMPGEnc

than after u download the KVCD Templates extract them and copy them into the "TMPGEnc Templates folder"

it should explain it better here its where i learned to do it

wil it still work in my dvd player? do i select the KVCD or KSVCD template? Ive changed my mind and really dont care anymore about if it fits on however many disks. I tried to make an SVCD NTSC film, but the audio and picture were very out of sync. I tried using virtual dub adn make a wav file, but the audio was very our of sync then. Plase help me.
