HI, I'm new at computers full stop!

After a whole day of errors I have managed to burn a mpeg downloaded from the internet on to a CD-RW disc as a VCD. It plays in my DVD player (which is brilliant) but I cannot fast forward or rewind. If I try to fast forward or rewind it takes me straight back to the beginning.

Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

that is pretty much the only restriction for VCD/SVCD/KVCD which is why many of us use DVD Burners (a worthwile investment) cause you can burn the mpeg files to a single dvd with no disc changeing :)

Hi Phantom, thanks for replying to my thread.

Do you mind if I ask your advice? I know absolutely nothing at all about computers (if you can't tell already). I have a DVD R/RW does this mean that I have a burner?

I have downloaded Nero from the net to try for a month's free trial. This says that it will burn DVD's but when I download an mpgeg (may have that wrong, but it's basically a video from eDonkey) and ask Nero to make a DVD it will not play in my DVD player - it will however play in the computer.

If I try to burn it as a VCD (this seems to work) it will only work if the file is quite small. I have tried to burn a film that I downloaded from eDonkey and it says there isn't enough disc space?? Any tips you can give me will be gratefully received!

Novice!

Hi lasybird

That is exactly what I want to do. Burn a mpeg movie onto a CD-RW and play it on my dvd player. I've tried several things but it doesnt work.

I followed the instructions on this thread:

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/172

I converted the wmv files into mpg using TMPGEnc. I use the Video-Cd option and select the NTSC option with in that. The rest of the options are the default ones like:

CBR Standard format
Video Type : Interlace
Field Order :Bottom field first
Aspect Ratio : 1:1 (VGA)
Content of Video : Film movie

A file with the extension one.mpg is created. I then open Nero and choose the option "Make video CD". I add the newly created mpg file (one.mpg) and then burn it.

The Burn process is successful and on my CD i see the following file/folder structure:
EXT
MPEGAV
SEGMENT
VCD

But when i try to play on my regular DVD player (emerson)- i get the following message:
Playback feature may not be available on this disk.

My dvd player plays DVD-R/RW CD-R/RW these types of discs.

I tried with different company CD's Memorex,Fuji, Imation but its the same thing.

Tell me how you did it.
Appreciate your help
Thanks
