The Mandarin 0 Report post 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 0 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook Report post Posted May 30, 2004 Download TMPGEnc. It converts video files to mpeg form so they can be burned as VCDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mandarin 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
