I have a Sony CRX230A CD-R/RW drive I just bought, I been trying to burn VCDs using it (using the proper method step by step from the guide), but when I try to play them on my stand alone DVD player (Panasonic DVD-S35) there seems to be a strange distortion & pixellation all over the movie. I tryed the following:
-Used 4x burining speed.
-Used 10 minutes chapters to make them as small as possible
-Went down to only 450MB/45min per VCD
-Turned Power Burn off
I wasted over 15 CD-Rs now trying this out and still no luck. Funny thing is: I tryed buring the same movie(s) using a borrowed HP 9500 Series and they worked just fine.
Is there some kind of software/mode required for this kind of Drive (Sony CRX230A)? If so please, fill me in.
By chapters I meant pieces of the movies made using DV-Tool (I'm not sure if chapter is the correct term for it). If i don't cut the movie in pieces that's gonna be one big chunk of like 80-90 minutes and might not fit on the CD-R, was that what you meant?
Yes, that's what I've been doing.
I use TMPGEnc to encode from AVI to MPEG1, then cut the file into little pieces using DVtool normally 9-10 mins each. After that I use Nero to burn the MPEGs to VCD, following the guides from the site step by step.
