    I recently encoded a soccer game to MPEG-2...it is 480x480 and 29.97 fps...I encoded using TMPGEnc and burned using Nero 6 as a Super Video CD...The file was about 793 MB and i am burning on a 800 MB CD-r...I burned it sucessfully but when I put it in my DVD Player ( Panasonic RV32) The picture and sound is VERY jittery and it is VERY slow...on the DVD Player b4 it plays it says Video CD...but its says it is about 78 minutes and some seconds...when actually the video is about 51 minutes. I played the SVCD on my computer on a DVD playing software....and it works perfectly...ANy ideas on what's wrong?

    I burned a SVCD and the result is excellent. I would suggest to avoid Nero and try VCDEasy instead (I know that some people uses VCDGear and say that it's better than VCDEasy, but I never used it).

    I have the trial version of VCDEasy and I can't burn it because of a size limit on the trial version...is thr any free software you'd suggest?

    According to what you said, you did everything correctly. I would say it is one of 2 things: 1. your dvd player does not play svcd's(only vcd's) or 2. you recorded the audio at 48mhz and not 44mhz which it has to be for it to be a true svcd. A pc does not care whereas a standalone dvd player does. Nero is a very good program for burning svcd's (I use it all the time)

    @humza.a, soccer game? The chances that you live in Europe are very high, IF you do, then you should stick to PAL encoding settings, which is 25FPS, 480x576. As Aldaco12 stated, Nero is not a good encoder at all! You should stick to another encoder like TMPGEnc or CCE SP. Nero is ok to burn but definately not to encode.

    If its a case that you DVD Player prefers VCD's over SVCD, you can try a VCD Header Trick, I had a guide for it in the guides section, im not sure if it is still there but you can try!
