PAL Video CD burning is not supported. You can create an MPEG-1 PAL VCD file, and burn that with other apps-

Hello,

>PAL Video CD burning is not supported.

Why?

I read your product info, and says: "Video CD and Data CD Burning", I don't read nothing about NO european (PAL) Video CD

I want your reply

Best regards

We couldn't get PAL VCD burn working in time for release, sorry. You can still create MPEG-1 files for PAL VCD, and you can also create SVCD files with the new MPEG encoder.

I've never been that excited about VideoCD - quality is pretty low since the file is MPEG-1, 352x240. MPEG-2 for DVD is where we've invested the majority of our effort, and we'll continuje to focus heavily on that space.

SVCD is pretty good quality!
No support for Burning PAL SVCD either.
Are people outside the USA being ignored here?
Namely Australia and Europe.

Is the PAL VCD/SVCD template going to come at some later point then? I assume that since you could not get it out in time, that it must mean that SF must have been working on something?

We already have PAL VCD, SVCD, and DVD render templates, but we do not support direct burning of anything but NTSC VideoCD and Red Book Audio CD from Vegas.

We are considering adding direct burn for all these formats, in both NTSC and PAL, but it is a huge job. There are many cheap/free burning tools on the web that will get the job done, so you might want to consider one of those at this time.

Hopefully VV3 will eventually be a one stop shop for all our video and audio needs - including burning PAL SVCD from within VV3.
