    Did you try my "100% working method" (with VCDGear, which is freeware)?
    Ah, to view and/or convert an .AVI you need its codec installed (DivX for a DivX .AVI, Xvid for a Xvid .AVI...).

    I don't understand. When you need to make a VCD, don't you need to convert the AVI movie into a/two MPEG(s)? So, if you convert the movie to an .MPG, no codec is needed after the conversion.
    Or, maybe, you try to view your VCD directly (and then you want to see the 'ripped riff file' AVSEQ.DAT [VCD] or AVSEQ.MPG [SVCD] and NOT the .MPG you made to prepare the VCD with)? It it's the case, you need a specific player able to load the 'ripped riff files' (I think that WMP can...).
    Anyway, VCDs are good only for DVD players; to view a movie a PC, an .AVI or an .MPG is enough. You can burn them directly on a data CD without convert them to a VCD, so the movies won't become 'ripped riff files' but will remain .AVIs / .MPGs.

    I Always run my AVI files through Gspot first(freeware) and this will tell you if you are missing any other codecs for this file.
