Is there a way to convert video files (i.e. mpg,mpeg,aif,avi) to VCDs with a CDRW drive? I want to make VCD's without ripping DVD's, and use some of the videos on my computer. Thanks in advance...

MPEG-1 is the same format what VCD uses, so if you have standard-compliant MPEG-1 files (.mpg, .mpeg normally), you should be able to burn them to VCD directly.
AVIs, etc other formats need to be converted -- this _always_ weakens the quality, because all of these formats are "lossy". Use TMPGEnc to re-encode your videos to MPEG-1 (VideoCD) format.
For burning instructions, conversions, etc look at AfterDawn.com's article page.

Ok, thank you, but (in the article) how do I know if my MPG's are PAL or NTSC? If they are say....anime, then are they automatically PAL?

One more thing...I have been looking around on the internet, and people are advertising VCDs with entire series on them. How is this possible since VCD's can only hold 99 mins? Is there a way I can make them hold more?

You can determine the video format by fps. Open them with Windoze Media Player or similiar look for the statistics. PAL = 25.000fps, NTSC = 29.97fps, FILM = 23.97fps.
That's BS, you can fit only 74-99mins/CD (depending on your CD) on one CD using VCD format and even with DivX, more than 90mins/CD or so produces horrible quality.

Somethings wrong again! After I changed the movies to MPEGs, I loaded them into to Nero and got the message that I could either reencode the video or go on without discretion or something...and when I have Nero reencode them for VCDs, it shortens the movie....what's going on?

Have been trying to burn vcd with ezcd5 platinum, after encoding with tmpgEnc. Mpeg info screen says "system clock reference not acceptable". Can't find any way to change it. Any suggestions?
