Newbie... Help with authoring VCD/SVCD

What do i need to burn a (s)vcd compliant mpeg/mpeg2 to (s)vcd? All the software i have tried wont work with my burner please help!

 

I Use nero 5.0.3.5 (a bit old now) but works a treat. It is easy to use and has a "Drag + Drop" facility for easy vcd creation. Support for IDE burners is very good, not sure about SCSI.

 

Are there any freeware programs that are similar to Nero? When it comes to vcd...

 

Not Sure, but I Doubt it (not that are up to much anyway) I've opted for the full cracked version but, depending on your honesty, a free 30 day download used to be available from the ahead website, or check grokster / morpheus for cracked ver.

 

other software like cdrwin and adaptec easy cd creator dont seem to be as easy to use as nero, but different people prefer different utils .....

 

crack it!!........come on...you know you wanna........

 

I cracked it no problem... but it doesnt seem to work.... it does everything but when i goe to burn it says something... i will post that in a sec...

 

Nero Did'nt work it says "Sony Cd-RW Could not perform fixation Burn Process failed at 1x"
What do i do???

 

try upgrading, just goto www.nero.com and download the latest version. it's 5.5.8 i think

 

Are you using the wizard and selecting video CD?
If so are you using cdr's or cdrw's?

 

Sounds like it may be a hardware conflict between nero and your burner??

 

I'm not using the "Cd Wizard" and i think there is a conflict. The mediums are Maxell 80 min/ 700mb CD-R's. Any new ideas????

 

First thing to do is make sure you have all updates and patches from Nero.

And then try different brands of CD's

 

There are Freeware vcd/svcd burning programs that i feel are better than Nero, like VCDEasy which unlike Nero supports chapters, and another one that is great but not freeware but is free if you know were to look is "ulead dvd plugin" which supports chapters and menues and titles...
