| 597200 | 2007-10-02 07:32:00 | I am trying to make a VCD from a wmv file using nerovision, but the VCD it burns will not play in stand alone DVD players & it won't even play in windows media player. It doesn't matter if I burn it in PAL or NTSC format, it just won't work. |

| 597201 | 2007-10-02 08:00:00 | got a DVD writer? make DVD's or use something other than Nero, i think my bro uses a program called WinDVD. think it only does dvd's not sure about VCD's although could have a look. for us Nero always fails to create a DVD version of any AVI file. so we use WinDVD (unsure on actual program name) to create all the vob files and so on, then use Nero to write it as a DVD video. |

| 597202 | 2007-10-02 08:10:00 | I'll try your suggestion, but I would prefer VCD format so it can play in just about any computer or DVD player. | Greven (91) | ||
| 597203 | 2007-10-02 08:11:00 | You need the plugin to do DVD's in Nerovision, was this installed? And VCD you dont need a DVD writer I think. This will also burn to CD, but wont be as good as DVD. Run Nero (not Nerovision) and go to recorder / chose recorder / options. Change it to DVD (if its there). Then reburn it, see if it plays in a standalone DVD player then. If u have a blank DVD try burning it, after u change the above to DVD. It says it should make it more compat with most DVD's. |

| 597204 | 2007-10-02 08:15:00 | yea i'm aware that VCD is for CD media and not DVD. its in the name :P another option would be to use non-Nero software completely, don't know of any myself. but this thread has reminded me to download and install NeroLinux3 :D yah nerovision is crud. nero burning rom should convert it when ya tell it to make a VCD i think. not sure as dont do that anymore. we just use the laptop and TV an monitor. since TV has D-sub and DVI. so if ya ever gonna upgrade ya TV keep that in mind :) also mention it to ya friends to make life easy - just rambling :P ignore me |

| 597205 | 2007-10-02 18:38:00 | Using Nero burning rom instead of nerovision didn't work either. I'll try the DVD option at lunch time. | Greven (91) | ||
| 597206 | 2007-10-02 19:56:00 | I didnt say to use Nero, (to reburn it). I said to go to choose recorder / options and select DVD. And reburn it. In Nerovision. |

| 597207 | 2007-10-02 22:59:00 | So just to check - you have run nerovision, gone to the "Photo and Video" tab and clicked the "Make Video CD" Then in the new window that opened, clicked the "add file", and navigated to your wmv with the "open file" pane and double clicked it to import it to nero? It should give then tell you the length of the movie (<80 mins or it wont fit) and when you click next it should start transcoding the wmv into divX format (which takes a while) after which it will begin the burn process. You should use the PAL format here in NZ I've burnt heaps of Vid CD's like that and never had problems with them at all. You will have trouble if the video is more than 80 minutes tho - in which case you need to edit it and clip some out to bring it to the 80 mins mark. The size of file is irrelevent, it's the time length that's important - even if a video is only 400 megs but 85 mins long, it still needs clipped to 80 mins! Hope this helps somehow :) |

| 597208 | 2007-10-02 23:24:00 | Try CDburnerXP (http://cdburnerxp.se/) perhaps. It's free, dunno if it'll solve your prob but will only take 10min to find out. | mmmork (6822) | ||
| 597209 | 2007-10-02 23:43:00 | I find Nero is not all that good in dealing with some WMV & AVI source files, either failing altogether or screwing up the audio. Your other option is to re-encode first to a VCD compliant MPG then use that. However if Nero appears to suceed and the resulting disk isn't working maybe something else is wrong, are the discs being closed / finalised ? for VCD I've never bothered with Nervision, and I don't put menus on as many DVD players don't handle them properly, especially if they span multiple pages. I find it much easier to just select VCD in nero burning ROM and drop the video files in. It's always worked for me. |
