I have made many VCD's (single track as well as multiple track i.e. VCD 2.0). I use hardware based encoders for capturing video and later burn a flawless VCD. But so far I could not make a flaw-less 'AutoRun' VCD. I tried with 'Sony Video X-Press' and 'Combi CD player' with some success and then again ...these are not freeware! Also ...the 1st video track might play but not the subsequent tracks.

Please comment.

Just out of interest, could you please tell me what hardware encoder you are using to make your VCDs. I know this has got nothing to do with your question, but im looking for a hardware encoder which would give me good quality, and maybe you can give me some info on how good your one is. Thanks

I ve made a VCD for MPG songs downloaded from net. I used nero5.5.2 and All I do is in the property of each song I put time gap as 0 seconds which was 5 seconds by default (sometimes infinite). After that this VCD, when played never stops (no gaps between songs) once started. I play this in DVD player as well.

Thank you for your reply Roger....I think this is possible only with Nero ...but on a stand-alone VCD/DVD player..can you jump to desired track / song ?
