Hi all, Forgive me if this has been answered before, but I've searched and wasn't able to come up with anything. So anyway, my friend is a mad Rammstein freak, he buys all their original albums and videos from the shops, but he's unable to get bootleg mpg's anywhere other than the net. So I've downloaded around a gig of mpg's for him (freely and legally available), some are even as old as 1990. Anyway we have a pioneer a05 and Im trying to put them onto a dvd-r so he can play them in his standalone sony dvd player. The problem is, Nero seems to want different file formats, not mpg. I've read a howto on dvdrhelp.com but I got stuck on step 0, even after following the steps and getting the correct tools. Can someone please help me put these mpgs onto a single dvd-r as a VCD or SVCD so my mate can watch them? I appreciate it, thanks guys/gals.
Rammstein Rock!!!!! Anyways I think you are mixed up DVD Burners are for the DVD format. You dont use a DVD-R for VCD or SVCD. VCD and SVCD are supposed to be burned to regular 74min or 80min cd-rs! Now SVCD is a much better option than VCD but choosing an encoder is hard enough! TMPGEnc is free but only encodes MPEG-2 for 30 days! You need to get TMPGEnc Plus! CCE SP is no doubt the best there is but it costs like $2000. lol!
Hahah yeah man I love rammstein too.. but I thought svcd rips were pretty much in dvd format (mpeg-2), thats why i was asking about burning them onto dvd-r's. cheers for the replies all, i appreciate it very much
