I'm having problems with the vcd's I am making. I'm using Nero Ultra 6 burning software. I put in 3 short films on 1 vcd, and make a picture menu with title a picture selected from the mpeg. After I burn it and put it in my DVD player, the menu will flash on the screen for less than a second, see a rainbow bar at the top of the screen and then turns plack. PCB is already automatically initiated. The VCD works, but I just cant see the menu.

Due to sizing of the avi, when I convert the file, it stretches and fills the screen, and I lose subtitles. When I burned it with nero at the standard conversion size, the menus worked fine. Now when I convert with TMPEG and tell it to center on the screen at 336x192, the menu flickers on the screen and disappears. I've tried making menus with just a title too, and has the same problem. For some reason it works fine on my DVD-ROM but when I place it in my DVD player, I get the problem and if it worked before, I must be a file problem?

Anyone know what the problem is and how I fix it? I could always skip making a menu, but I like to give my projects a little more professional look when I watch them.

its because the tv resolution. ans if you fit the video precisely with the tv's resolution you'll get a bend edge. try use center (keep aspect ratio) or you can custom size it, the trick is to go a bit smaller than the resolution.

try encoding short videos like 10 seconds and try different configuration.

its fine on your monitor cause its a monitor. :P

I've tried to reduce the size to 300x192, think the default is 330x250 or so, and I still get the same problem. Any idea what regular tv resolution is? This is mind boggling because when I had Nero encode the AVI to mpeg, the menu system worked fine.
