Guest annonymous Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I downloaded some funny movie clips from internet and then used Nero express to burn these to CD-R, The whole process was completed successfully but when I put the CD in CD-ROM, no movie clip could be played rather there were 4-5 folders containing either notepad files or some files of unknown format. Can anybody help. thanks in advance.

When you open Nero Express, do you see a menu in the upper right-hand corner that says "What would you like to burn?" You need to click on the entry that says "Videos/Pictures" and then "Video CD." If you would like a tutorial, see: http://www.nero.com/nero6/eng/Tutorial_Photo_Video.html

Again, what format(s) are these video clips in? AVI? MPG? Something else? Have you tried playing the disc in a standalone DVD player?

Using Windows Explorer, right-click on one of these clips and select Properties. What does it say next to Type of File? Does it say WMV File by any chance? Also, you may as well you make sure that you can view file extensions: 1. Open up any folder. 2. Tools | Folder Options 3. Click View tab 4. Under Advanced Settings, you may as well uncheck the box next to "Hide extensions for known file types." 5. Click "Apply to All Folders." 6. Click OK. Now you should be able to tell instantly what format your clips are in when you use Windows Explorer.

I'm pretty sure Nero only handles .mpg and .avi files. You never answered my other question. Did you check out the tutorial at http://www.nero.com/nero6/eng/Tutorial_Photo_Video.html ? Also, have you tried Google? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=tutorial+vcd videohelp.com is probably the best place to post your question: http://forum.videohelp.com/ It looks like you will need to convert your Windows files (.wmv and ..asf) to .mpg or .avi files.
Guest annonymous Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Re: Making a video CD Thanks a lot for so much help. i checked nero site but now have forgotten what i found at that site.
Guest annonymous Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Re: Making a video CD I changed the format of all files to wmv. Can they now be copied to CD using nero express. I see another option by right click of 'send to CD-RW and when I open CD, it says these files are ready to be written on CD. Is this method different from doing it through Nero and if yes how is it different.

Again, you will be better off posting to videohelp.com: http://forum.videohelp.com/ First, make sure you have all the most recent codecs. You may want to use Media Player Classic as your player. Go to http://www.codecguide.com/about_kl.htm and click on Download: Mega (this will make sure you have every possible codec needed).
