hi chaps

i have a 700mb AVI file on my computer, which plays perfectly on my computer, i thought i would make it into a Video CD to play on my TV's DVD player, but with Nero it expands to 900mb and therefore doesnt fit a CD !.

Using Nero 6 Ulta Edition I thought I could make a Video DVD disc out of it, so i then find that Nero 6 doesnt have an option for a Video DVD disc, and it tells me i should upgrade to Nero 7 and it mumbles something about MPEG4 (which i dont understand !).

So what can i do please, to enable me to watch this AVI Movie on my DVD player on my TV ?.

any help/advice will be very welcome, thanks.

It is saying you need an XviD codec for it to bebale to convert the file. Your AVI is probably XviD so go to the below link and download the XviD codec and then try to run the AVI file in Nero Vision Express choose to make a Video-DVD.

this is version 6.6.0.18
ok...... this is what you do:

1. save your serial #
2. uninstall Nero
3. use the Nero 6 Cleaning tools: http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/en/Clean_Tools.html
4. do a registry clean up, and if you don't have a program to do the job, get one free one here: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/
5. defrag the hard drive
6. reboot
7. reinstall Nero 6: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe
this is the stable version and I use this version myself!

and now you can use the Make Video CD option.

and here is a guide for you:

I alwaus got the add MPEG4 codec error when first installing Nero. They give a link for you to go to for the MPEG 4 codec but it cost money. Instead of paying for it I just downlaoded and isntalled the free XviD codec that I gave a link to. You could also use Klite codec packages for this as well.

I never ever had to download that codec with Nero. This is the first I ever heard of it. But maybe it's because I once downloaded and installed the K-Lite codec Pack.

I always get that error message after installing the Ultra Edition. Even after doing a fresh install of XP and install of Nero Ultra It wont let me convert MPEG4 files untill I instal a DivX/Xvid codec. SO in my case it dosent install the MPEG4 codec pack. That is something seprate that I have to download and pay for. But instead I install a free DivX/Xvid codec.
