The Mandarin Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 So, I just got a DVD player that will play VCD files. I have an assortment of WMV and ASF files on my computer. I'd like to change them to VCD, then burn them to a CD-R. How would I go about doing this? Should I be burning them to a CD-R? I'm totally lost. Thanks for any help.
The Mandarin Posted May 30, 2004 Author Report Posted May 30, 2004 Alright, it joined a few of my files together. But they're still in WMV format. How would I convert them to VCD?
Guest Fook Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Download TMPGEnc. It converts video files to mpeg form so they can be burned as VCDs.
The Mandarin Posted May 30, 2004 Author Report Posted May 30, 2004 I converted it to VCD, put it in my DVD player and it still read as an unknown disk. Thanks for your help anyways.
MrRant Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Yeah SVCD's are touchy with DVD players unfortunately. I've only gotten it to work on my DVD player but it doesn't work on some of my friends.
Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 Try a different brand of disk, or a CD-RW as they tend to work better. What program did you use to burn the VCD?
Guest Fook Posted May 31, 2004 Report Posted May 31, 2004 http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers Try using this site to look up your specific dvd player and see what video types it'll play.
The Mandarin Posted May 31, 2004 Author Report Posted May 31, 2004 Try a different brand of disk, or a CD-RW as they tend to work better. What program did you use to burn the VCD? I used Easy CD creator, because when I try and get my computer to load DVD+Rs, nothing happens. It just makes weird sounds. Anyways, I searched up my DVD player and it is supposed to play DVDRs, CDRs, and VCDs. Ergh.
Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Posted June 1, 2004 Report Posted June 1, 2004 Check to be sure that you are burning to a vcd format and not just putting the video on the disk. If your version of EZCD Creator doesn't support making VCDs, get Nero or VCDEasy.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 I just got an 8x DVD burner (dual format, really nice..) using a giftcard I got for my birthday and it came with software that turns WMV into VCDs. Also, for anyone that wants to join WMV together, Windows Movie Maker (which was installed with Win XP) can join them together pretty easily.
