Question about homemade VCD with music videos

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

Hey I made a VCD using several music videos that i downloaded from the internet. The first track plays on my DVD player but i cant seem to get to the other tracks. Is this something i did or can a VCD only contain one track? Thanks

A VCD can contain many tracks. What software are you using to burn the CD? some are having trouble with Adaptec. I use Nero version 5 and have no trouble. In the software somewhere it should state the length of each MPEG file you have added to be burned. Make sure a length is stated. I have added clips that do not indicate a length and these clips will not play. The reason the length is missing is that the clip is not recorded to the VCD spec.

hope this helps

Hi Steeler is correst, to encode your mpg files to vcd specification you should use xing mpeg encode.
