I have quite a few mpeg films on my hard drive and was wondering whats the best way of burning them to disc so they can be played in a DVD player.

I've had a quick look through the search and could not find any answer that may suggest it can be done with Alcohol.

If i'm wrong can someone please advise.

Will this be another program to buy if so will there be a fee reduction if you have purchased the retail version of Alcohol.

Is there no way of incorperating this into a future version of Alcohol.

Well, since this is the off topic forum, why not just use nero. In fact, you can use nero express. Just select video cd and then vcd from the menu and load the mpeg. Nero will convert it and then you just burn it. Easy as pie really.

Accordding to one of the Alcohol dude (I think it was Phoenix), ICE Alcohol is developed seperately so it will be a different product... however alot of the features in it will be released as plugins for registered members.

Any one know when any of the plugins will be released?

hi more more coasters. went through the same myself. got fed up in 70/80 min vcd of fast searching to point in film i was at night before. ended up using vcd easy, free download, search on google. used this as it allows chapter points to be inserted, manualy or you can decide on how many, i normally set every 5 mins or so. also has built in burner. you can produce bin or iso files that can be mounted to alcohol and tested before burning.

Being one of the Beta testers for ICE Alcohol i can honestly say it will be worth waiting for, there are a few bugs to iron out before it goes public and a few additions to be made from the points made by other Beta testers.
Exactly how many of the options will be introduced to Alcohol remain to be seen but as a standalone program my 13 year old daughter had no problems producing an SVCD of one of her DVD films, naturally the only real headache to most users is the CSS issue but as we all know there are ways round this

I downloaded the trial version of nero express to try out and thought it would work fine.
It said it was encodeing the file and then burned it to disc excellent i thought
but when i put it in my dvd player nothing happened just a sign saying 'no disc'

When i checked the disc it just had what looked like data files on it.
Any ideas

Did you select "new VCD", "SVCD" or new data(multisession)-cd?
Did you burn at high speed?

Selected VCD and burned at 8x

When i added file to record i got the message this mpeg is not vcd compliant and needs to be re-encoded.

It then does this then burns successfully but will not play as a DVD in either pc or DVD player
When the disc is checked there are 5 files listed:- CDI,EXT,MPEGAV,SEGMENT & VCD

Is this any help

Hi NoMoreCoasters, you will probably find that you will need the MPEG-2/SVCD encoder this isnt a part of Nero Vision Express and needs to be bought seperatley.

Is the MPEG-2/SVCD encoder needed for all films that need to be played on a DVD player and is this something ice alcohol will have when its finally launched

When i added file to record i got the message this mpeg is not vcd compliant and needs to be re-encoded.

I have found that when i get this message with Nero when Burning that i want to Burn a VCD as SVCD or vice versa and the fact that it said its not VCD compliant points to the fact that you seem to be trying to Burn a SVCD as a VCD but without re-encoding it will be burnt as a SVCD.

Hi NoMoreCoasters, you will probably find that you will need the MPEG-2/SVCD encoder this isnt a part of Nero Vision Express and needs to be bought seperatley.

I have now got the SVCD plugin encoder installed and although nero recognises that it is installed when i select SVCD and add a file i am still getting the message 'the file needs to be re-encoded' but it still does not encode then burn successfully.

Think i'll just wait for Ice Alcohol to come along(hopefully it wont be too long in coming................._ :in:
