    okay so how do I get a svcd onto the disc when I try to burn copies my burner is not an option it is looking for a dvd burner so how do I get to copy to a cdrw and how do I split the disc if I need to because I cant get it to work and I have every software downloaded that I have heard mentioned, so I must be doing something wrong, I can copy the movies easy enough but I just cant get then to burn, if I had a dvdrw it would not be a problem but how do I get to burn onto a cdrw, I have tried svcd, vcd, mini dvd but the movie files are not compatible file ext VOB and IFO so what do I need to do.

    I used the DVD2SDVD and it took about 12 hours but it finished now I have cue files and I played them on a virtual player first and it only plays half the movie, there are alot of different files listed in the folder that the movie was copied to. Where is the rest of the movie and how do I use the bin files and what else to I need to do? I am getting very frustrated here as I have never had this much trouble figuring out anything and I sure dont know anyone else who can do even what I can already do much less this so for those of you who have done this successfully what am I doing wrong and once I have the whole movie how do I split it into 2 or more disc.
    Please help me I am just so uggh I dont want to give up but I need some help here.

    Believe it or not you're almost there. There should be 2-3 .cue files and 2-3 .bin files to go with them. Those are CD images which you can burn using Alcohol. DVD2SVCD automatically split the movie across multiple disc images so you don't need to worry about that. Just start Alcohol and select the Image Burning Wizard on the left. When the wizard starts you'll need to use the Browse button to find the first CUE file. After that, follow the wizard (if you can't figure it out look in Alcohol's help) to burn the first image. Repeat for each image that DVD2SVCD created. If everything was done correctly you'll have an SVCD that's ready to play on your standalone. Let us know how it goes ;)

    Yes Yes Yes Whoo Hoo after all this time it finally paid off I burned the cue's using Alcohol 120 and I have a perfect copy of the Neverending Story on 2 discs oh Thank You Thank You Thank You for your help,
    I am so happy now I know what to do until I get a DVD burner. I only have one more question now is there anyway to speed up the encoding time, twelve hours is a long process but anyways I am ok with that right now I finally copied a movie Yee Haw.
    Forgive my ethusiasm but I have been working on this for week. It only took me a couple of hours to figure out how to do the playstation games.
    Once again Thank You Heaps.

    Well, yes and no. If you want to keep using DVD2SVCD you would have to buy a copy of CCE SP which is about $2000. It's a lot faster (at least twice as fast) but obviously $2000 is a lot of money to make SVCDs. Alternatively you could do all the things DVD2SVCD does yourself, but that will require a little more learning. The advantage is that you can use CCE Basic (only $58) instead because you don't have to worry about another program being able to run it. It's not terribly difficult, but it requires a little bit of reading.

    I haven't really worked with SVCD that much, and when I did I had a copy of CCE SP available so I just used DVD2SVCD and concentrated on tweaking it instead of learning the manual steps. If you want more help with this I'd recommend posting a new thread on the VCD/SVCD forum so our SVCD experts will notice it. You should be able to get any help you need. For now you should probably just watch your movie and appreciate getting past the hardest part. It gets a lot easier from here.

    Derr_lol; just what are you looking to do?

    As for me I now use ==DVD Shrink with Nero Start Smart and by the way you have to buy the Nero Start Smart ($100 or so) a lone with the dazzle and the 321 DVD X Maker on all the VHS. My new dell Dimension 2400 computer has a 56K PCI Data Fax Modem Modem IntelĀ® PentiumĀ® 4 Processor (2.80GHz, 533 FSB) and boy is it fast
