Making a video CD

[Guest annonymous]

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.

What format(s) are these video clips in?

 

It sounds like you merely burned a data CD. 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."

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.

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.

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:

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).
