I am having problems with burning a VCD. I use Nero to burn my videos to convert to VCD and have quality problems. The quality is blocky looking and not very smooth except for audio. The audio is the only good quality. I need help and suggesting on what I can do. What programs I can use. I need to make sure it's smooth looking and not blocky.... I'm going for quality not how big the file size is. I want the best I can get out of VCD's.

I remember i used Nero Burning Rom to convert my VCD, and it turned out horrible and i never used it to convert again. Now i use TMPGEnc to encode VCD's. It's one of the best encoders out there.

I don't know what sort of files you are encoding to VCD but you can find great guides for TMPGEnc on http://www.videohelp.com/

I d/l that program b4 and I now converted a video.... but what should I do to burn it, should I burn it directly with regular windows burning or should I use my Nero Startsmart to burn to vcd? If I use Nero then I get that blocky quality no matter what I do. So that means I use something else?

I'm pretty sure that if you use NeroVision and you have SmartEncoding turned on, then it won't have to reencode the file because it should already have all the dvd specs if you did everything right in TMPGEnc.

Then you should be able to burn with Nero, but it shouldn't ask you to encode because you already did. And it should just burn it.

Yes it does just burn when I add the file to Nero StartSmart to burn a VCD, and the file looks clear on the computer and it's settings are set to NTSC and mpeg, but when I play it on a DVD player it becomes blocky.

How fast are you burning it? And are you using good media?

Well I'm burning it at 4x because that's the max on the CD-RW disc I have. I also tried CD-R and it's at 52x but no difference in VCD quality.

you're doing it wrong.
nero just feed the video with constant bitrate, thus the blockiness will show up on complex scenes. if you don't want the macroblocking, try kvcd, its still vcd but with tweaks. better yet forget vcd go dvd. vcd is 1998.
