Title: Burning VCD's
Post by: _That_Cracka_J on August 05, 2003, 11:42:31 PM
Is there any reason why my CD burner will not burn VCD's?  Do I need to use  a different program?

That's what I figured....I thought it would burn anything except for DVD's!  I'm using HP Record Now.  Somebody at work told me I might need a video capture card ???  I thought there might be some setting I may need to adjust...

You can do it in nero....dont need anything else...nero can do practically anything...only other burning prog i use on a regular basis is blindread / blindwrite to make backup copies of my playstation 2 games :)


Step 1: Start Nero Burning ROM
First launch Nero Burning ROM - you are presented with the New Compilation dialog as shown below. Scroll down the list until you see the Video-CD option. Choose it.

If your video files are in PAL format, choose the PAL radio button in the Encoding resolution tab. If they are in NTSC format, choose NTSC. The selection of encoding format also affects the format of the menu screen.



Step 2: Add MPEG-1 Video
Next, drag & drop the MPEG-1 video file to the Nero track list. After adding the file, your track list should look similar to the picture shown below.

Step 3: Burn Your VCD
The last step is to write the VCD onto a CD-R or CD-RW medium. Just open up the Write CD-dialog, and check the Write and Finalize CD checkboxes. Leave the other two boxes unchecked, as shown below.
(http://www.desktop-video-guide.com/images/burn-vcd-nero-burning-rom-4.gif)
Please note a couple of things at this point before you press the Write button. If you ever intend to view the VCD on a standalone player, it's highly advisable to:



Use a high-quality CD-R medium (not those $0.05 a piece discs)

Avoid using CD-RW discs for long-term storage

Limit the write speed to 4x or less

Many DVD-players have difficulties with CD-Rs written at high speeds. If you're looking for good CD-R media, I recommend Verbatim or Sony - I never have a problem with those.

OK, ready? Click on the Write button, wait a couple of minutes, and enjoy your VCD! That's all you need to burn VCD discs with Nero Burning ROM.

Note that Nero Burning ROM also enables you to burn VCD menus, which is very cool. However, we did not do this here as we are burning one huge MPEG-1 file onto a CD-R. A menu screen is more useful if you have a series of small MPEG-1 video clips to be burnt on the VCD.


There ya go lol...see if that works...if not ill looks into your burner

Anytime I put a VCD in (on HP RecordNow), it scans it for a couple seconds, then spits it out and says, "cannot read disc" and they suggest wiping it off because of fingerprints, etc...I've tried several discs, which are all clean and nothing works.

Def gonna hafta try another program.
