    another question is...this is my first time trying to make a vcd i downloaded the tmpge encoder and started the encoding...it was at like 900 somethin megs at like 15 hours..i read in the forums and seen that someone was told to go to settings and do the source range thing which i did...well now the file is down to 198 megs which dont seem very logical if anyone knows what thats about or if i did something wrong id really like to know Thanks,Ken

    To your original question, im not too sure what you meant but if what you meant was "can you hook your dvd rom to your dvd player and play divx and other such formats without having to encode them?" then the answer is no. However you can hook your computer, (if you have a tv-out connection) to your tv and watch it that way!!

    In TMPGEnc I see you are trying to create a VCD, well what are you trying to create it from, divx??

    the original file name off of kazaa is 8.Mile(dvdscreener)Xvid-Dvl.AVI and the copy of it is real and the quality is excellent...right now despite all the negative posts of using nero to encode im giving it a try and it will be done in a few hours..after its in a MPEG format do i just burn it when i am done encoding?
