I dont think that this affected the playback on the dvd player but i recently got a new hard drive and things are set up a little differently on my new computer. I was having trouble encoding xvid in TMPGEnc 3.0 and was getting an invalid source code. Following a thread on here I downloaded a fourcc changer and have changed to id of the files to divx in order to fool TMPGEnc. This seemed to work fine and the one legit divx file also went in fine. Using Nero 6.6.0.13 to burn a non standard vcd appeared to go fine too. The cd plays on my computer but on my dvd player it seems to get caught freeze up a little in the beginning of each file. When I fast forward on the dvd player there is sound i can hear which happens to be out of sync and when i hit play it plays fine but the sound disappears. It is like that on all the files. I have many kvcds that play perfectly in the dvd player and I am pretty sure I did quit a few xvid encodings before I switched hard drives.
I thought I should also mention this. I tried to types of cd-r and also burned at the slowest speed and still have this problem. I encoded the files to 700 bitrate with audio of 160 just like I used to. The only difference now is my Nero edition is newer but still the same menus and options.
How did you manage to make a KVCD with TMPGenc 3 Xpresss, since the KVCD templates (http://kvcd.net/dvd-models.html) were born for TMPGenc 2.5? Or maybe, you wrote a wrong name? A trivial suggestion: since you're planning to make a KVCD, what about using TMPGenc 2.5 free and using VCDear to 'author' the KVCD (I wouldn't that Nero tries to encode the KVCD mpeg into a VCD mpeg)
I just modify the mpeg template. All kvcd is, is an mpeg with a different bit rate. I made quite a few successful ones before I had to switch hard drives and install everything on there. I think either it is the newer version of Nero that isn't set up right or maybe the fact that I changed the fourcc header thing. I had a problem figuring out kvcd because the templates were not for 3.0 but I figured it out and now usually encode at 650 video bitrate and fit around 5 or 6 episodes of blank anime or show on a cd-r. They played in the same player that I am having trouble with now. Thanks for the reply though.
did u always have that checked when u burned with nero? when i burn VCD i burn a standard VCD, and KVCD i burn a non standard VCD. since all ur doing is modifying the VCD template, it would make sense to burn as a standard VCD.
Or, simply, stick to VCDGear. It makes a VCD using KVCD MPGs and you're sure it doesn't try to re-encode them...
