I want to burn an SVCD movie onto a CD-R disc. The movie size is 789MB. I bought the 800MB+ 90 min. cd-r discs in order to burn this movie. I use Nero 6 Ultra Edition Burning ROM. It says that it could only burn it at 16x writing speed (instead of what I specified 52x). The burning session ends successfully, or so the message displays. However, when it burns it onto the disc, and I try to play it on my DVD player (which is CD-R, CD-RW, CD-etc... compatible) it displays "Disc Error: Please check disc". When I pop it into my computer to view its contents, it displays the capacity of the disc which is 1.17MB (I don't understand why this is). So when I open it up, there are four folders (EXT, MPEG2, SEGMENT, and SVCD) I open up the MPEG2 folder which is where the movie is at in .mpg format. AVSEQ01.mpg is the name of the movie file. I try to open it, but it does not open. Please help.

1)MPEG2 exe, iso, bin& cue file format?
2) Does your home dvd player support SVCD encoded movie playback?
3) Using Nero 6, did you enable create standard compliant CD and NTSC?

1) the file that I want to burn is in MPEG2 format. It's an SVCD movie. Its extension is .mpg so whenever I burn it, Nero does not need to encode it.
2) My home dvd player supports SVCD encoded movie playback. Also, I tried to play it in a dvd player program on my computer, but the movie did not play.
3) I did enable create standard complaint and NTSC
Please help, I already burned (and wasted) 10+ cd-r's and I still cannot view the movies on my dvd player (which is SVCD, VCD, cdr cdrw, compatible). Thanks.
Shoey :)

1. Does the MPEG file play by itself on your computer? Test it before you burn! (i.e., open the MPEG up with a software DVD player like PowerDVD or WinDVD -- not WMP) If the MPEG doest play then the issue is solved.
2. Have you tried different computers/players?
3. What are the specs on the MPEG file? (Open if up with AVICodec and copy-paste the three lines at the bottom here). You can grab AVICodec form http://avicodec.duby.info/

lu27cho, I've spent approx 3 weeks trying to figure this out with my own research to no avail. I have the exact same problem. I followed these steps http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/dvd2svcd_guide.cfm exactly. I used the exact same settings, TMPGEnc, CVD, etc...Everything.
Everything looks good prior to burning. I have my .bin and .cue files that are the right size, and formats. I double-check the syntax of the .cue files and they are correct. I renamed one of the .bin files to .mpg and played it with a Windows-based software player and it looked good. (I did rename it to .bin prior to burning)
I used Nero Express 5.5 (came bundled with my LiteOn burner) with the same results as lu27cho...3 CD-R's exactly the same. I then uninstalled Nero Express 5.5 and installed the Demo version of Nero Ultra 6.0...Same results on 3 more discs. When loading both versions of Nero, I first select "Files of type", then "Image Files (*.nrg, *.iso, *.cue)". I then select my first of 3 .cue files, then click burn. It appears to process the burn correctly and indicates the burn was successful.
I try to play the file "AVSEQ01.mpg" in both WMP 9.0 and ATi's File Player 8.7. Neither work, WMP says "Connecting" continuously in the status box and ATi's File Player just hangs indefinitely.
Again, my problem is exactly the same as lu27cho. My finalized disc has the same 4 folders and totals 1.17 MB in size. I find this interesting, since I see the AVSEQ01.mpg file in the MPEG2 directory and it indicates it's file size is 804,632KB alone.
I consider myself relatively informed in the technical world. I'm a programmer (object oriented), but Audio and Video mastering is completely new territory to me. I've put so much time into getting this to work I think my wife is going to throw my box out on the street. :(
Any help you can offer a could-be-soon-to-be-living-in-the-garage-guy would be greatly appreciated.
And, of course, I'm trying to burn non-copyrighted DVD's.

I primarily write in VB with some VBA thrown in for good measure. :) I also work a lot with SAS and DB2.
Man, I still can't figure this thing out. I'm almost ready to throw my own box out!!
