Hi...ok, now I am confused. I am very new at this so please be easy on me. For quite some time now, I have been downlaoding movies off the internet (first off, are the files I download off the internet always referred to as AVI?). Anyway, I have ALWAYS converted these downloaded files using TMPGEnc and then burned to a CD-R as a VCD using Nero. I have no problem playing these in my DVD player. However, for the first time ever today, I ended up burning some downloaded movies directly to CD-R as a VCD WITHOUT first converting using TMPGEnc...and yes, I was able to play these on my DVD player as well. Why did this happen? Not that I mind....I saved a few hours!! :) Also, why am I not able to play this VCD on my computer and only on my DVD player? I hope someone can help me out...I just want to understand.

Were you able to play those files before burning it to a disc?

Im not sure what you did, but about the other problem, download GSpot and load the file into the program, itll show you which codecs you need to play the file.

Life is but a dream...so wake me up already!!!

Hi,

I was able to play them on my media player on my computer (the same application I used to download them from). I just am curious though to know why I was even able to burn directly to VCD...still confused...:)

Two possibilities:
1. The file was incorrectly labeled as AVI and in fact was a MPG/DAT file
2. Perhaps you selected for Nero to encode it for you?

Hi,

I think I found the answer. I think I just got lucky with the files I downloaded in that they were already VCD compliant. No, I definitely know that Nero didn't convert for me because if it did, it must have done it in about 10 seconds as the entire burn process on an 80min CD-R took less than 3 minutes. (and plus, Nero tells you when it is converting for you)

I'd like to hear any other comments.

Thanks again..

Open up the files with AVICodec.... if im not mistaken VCD compatible files:
- Video: MPEG1 codec, 1150KB/s
- Audio: 44.1Khz, 192kb/s
- 320x240 @ 29.97/25/23.976
If that's the case then your file was indeed already VCD compliant

Excellent, I will check that. I guess it just caight me by surprise because I have NEVER downloaded any video that was already compliant. I should note however that the quality sucked while I watched it on my dvd player.:)
