VCD

[trevorbr]

I recently saw a new version of Easy CD Creator, ver. 5 Platinum I believe, that now offers VCD creation. I saw it at Best Buy. It was about $99.99 if I recal.
I think to play in a DVD player it would have to be mpeg, but I'm not sure. Check your DVD players documentation to see if it gives any specifics. I don't know what the standard for VCD is.
I do know that mpeg looks fantastic. I bought a CD from a recording project called Recoil. It had a full album of music and still had room for a beautifully made video. Extremely high quality even at full screen on a 200Mhz pentium. The film was close to four minutes and only took up a little over 50 megs of space, not bad at all for the kind of quality it displayed. This is my goal for the final format of my short films.

I remember seeing someone on here (somewhere?) say that they transfered their movie to Video CD and I was curious how you do this; what file type (avi, mpg...), what software, etc.? I have a CD burner and a DVD player that plays VCDs, so I was thinking it would be funto try.

Thanks in advance for any info!

You can look at www.vcdsp.com (in spanish, and it has software) or www.vcdhelp.com

They will give you a big explanation

a vcd is always mpeg, or it's not a vcd but simply a cd-rom with video data on it. the mpeg file has to follow certain specs, and the directory structure on the cd must too. templates are available in all mpeg compressors and cd burning softwares i've seen. the links above provide the information you need.
