Hi,

I recently tried making a VCD to play in my PioneerDV-K101(Japanese Version), I Captured the Video to an AVI, 352X288, 25fps, using an ATI all in wonder pro, and then comppressed it to Mpeg1 using AviVCD2 then created the disc using NTI-CD Maker Pro, burning it to a Memorex CD-RW disc, when I played it back on my DVD, the first 2 or 3 seconds are fine then the picture breaks up and the sound too....is this a problem with my capturing or encoding, or could it be that the memorex CD-RW is`nt one that is compatible with my DVD...any help or suggestion would be Great.

Thanks for any help.

Alan.

Alan, you've probably chosen the worst media in the entire cd market. Memorex is terrible - I have trouble making audio cds with that brand and those are a no brainer. If you are in the VCD game try the following brands, Sony (double silvers), Samsung, Verbatim, Maxell. And experiment a little with CDR vs CDRW. Typlically CDRW are more universially compatible.

Hope this helps

I think your video bitrate is out of range. VCD format bitrate : 1150kbps.

I experience this problem before. To solve the problem try to use TMpgEnc or Panasonic Encoder to re- encoding to PAL or NTSC VCD format.

I had the same problem, but I solved just turnin' own rhe speed of writting, I burn my VCD's at 1X speed in order to make it 100% compatibles with any DVD/VCD player, I burn it with NEro 5.582, i think you can try this way
