OK It may be a bit late for this becasue I haveto deliver in a few hours . .but maybe someone is up and can answer.

I just finished editing a video. I need to be able to play it on a DVD player. I went to TOOLS>BURN CF>VIDEO CD.

Everything looks like it completed OK but.. when I go to look on my computer the disk seems empty. Now I see the capacity is nor 648 ngs instead of 700 . .but I dont know if anything wrote and I can't test becasue I dont have a DVD.

DidI do this right and will it work when I deliver ??
Thanks

I don't know what went wrong ...try to eject and reload the CDrom (sometimes the Cdrom needs to reset before seeing the CD).
If the Computer doesn't see the VCD files, the DVD player won't either.

As for me I prefer to render to file first before using a burner software (nero, etc,,,) to create a VCD. Much safer that way.

THanks a lot for the replies and the help. Sorry for the false post. The video did work flawlessly this AM. Since I dont have a DVD player at home I couldnt test it. For some reason I had to reboot my PC and then I saw a few folders but never any files that looked like it referred to my .Mpeg.

The next question is.... Can you put multiple vids on a VCD.. kind of like a Music CD ????

The files will not have a .mpg file extension but .dat
It's usually in a folder called MPEGAV

And yes, you can put multiple Vids on one VideoCD
