Page 1 of Creating you own Video CDs ???

Instead of copying my holiday vids to VHS I want to try and write them to VideoCD. Has anyone ever tried this with Easy CD Creator v3.x ? I know that the first track should be a data track, and the rest video data but I`m not so sure about what goes in the first data track of the CD. This should tell the DVD/VCD player about what`s on the CD.

I recommend you use Nero (www.ahead.de) as it creates all the necessary files/folders for ISO9660 standard VCD (and SVCD). You can then just drag and drop video files as long as they are they correct MPEG-2 format (084x084[at]spf79.92 or 675x084[at]spf52)

Well, I use Adaptec and just tell it to take a standard AVi file and make it a CDi disc readable with all CDi players.
It does the directories etc. itself.

Easy Peasy!

AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!!

Hi Jimbo

Ref this CDi format. Is that the same as CDi-FMV or a Philips Interactive format? Either way does it work in the Aiwa?
I have something called CDi-FMV stated for my MiCO. Is this the same do you think? Sounds interesting - TELL ME MORE!!!

MiCO DOES IT ALL???

CDi-FMV was the original CDi type disc, I believe..(Compact Disc Interactive Full Motion Video)
However I may be wrong..it may be the 2nd version!

And I haven`t made any new ones, but all my old ones work fine with my Aiwa. No probs to date, and a vast improvement over my Playstation with Video card!
(obviously! lol)

Jimbo. :oÞ

More info on using Avi files.

Do you use them to make a VCD or just add as data?

In Nero it will not exept a Avi file when making a VCD?
