Hey all, I am facing strange problem. I use Dazze Snazzi capture card, Ulead media studio and video studio for mpeg editing and Nero Express for burning VCDs. Nero Express converts any video in vcd standard format and then goes for Burning in vcd either in NTSC or PAL etc. My question is, everyting works well and perfact, vcd palys in windows media players but not in regular VCD palyers. Either the player will give "ERROR" or if at all plays that gives jerks on TV screen or don't play continuously, gives data loss effect, Even audio too becoms jrekey.Well I burn it on minimum possible speed. Can any one give answer?

I had the same problem when burning my VCDs with Nero. The only solution I came up with was to use another software to burn VCD disc images I prepared with, let's say, Ulead and then authored in VCDEasy (making CUE/BIN disc image on HDD). My advice is to use burning software which has this option of chosing specific writing method. I use RAW DAO and it works perfect, my DVD player (Thomson Scenium) plays VCDs just good. Try to use Clone CD (its earlier versions, not latest) or even better - Fantom CD. In both cases you must mount VDC image on a virtual disc drive (offered in Fantom CD) and then use "disc copy" option within burning software chosing RAW DAO method, and that's it.
