I want to know how to go about making good/great Video CD's that will play on stand alone DVD players and tv's as large as 35 inches? I have made video that play well on a computer using Media Player, but now want to expand to the family tv! When I transfer these into video cd format, the video looks real blocky/blurred(pixels) and the audio is a little off sync. I am using a 700 MHX, PentIII CPU, Dazzle DVC (usb version) to capture, Ulead Video Studio 4.0 to edit/render and Click-N-Burn Pro to burn the video to cd. Can anyone help me creat good/great looking vidoe cd's? I want to capture my outdoor adventures and produce them to Video CD for viewing on the family DVD/TV player

Thanks, Rob

First you have www.vcdhelp.com

The problem with making a VCD that will play on a normal Set-Top DVD is that the file spec is very strict.
you can use TmpgEnc <A HREF="http://www.tmpgenc.com" target="_new">www.tmpgenc.com</A> to encode your files.
It have a special template to create VCD compatible files.
Then use Nero <A HREF="http://www.nero.com" target="_new">www.nero.com</A> that have a pre set for VCDs to burn the final VCD.

Intel / AMD - <A HREF="http://www.llnl.gov/asci/news/white_news.html" target="_new">IBM are still the best</A>

As scub said the rules for making a vcd that will play on a standalone are stricter then for vcds that will play on a computer. Check <A HREF="http://www.vcdhelp.com" target="_new">http://www.vcdhelp.com</A>'s compatability list to see if your standalone dvd player can play <b>S</b>VCDs. Use the SVCD format if you can. Also, your capture device is not the best. You may have better results with a more expensive/non usb capture device. I would try the svcd option first as it is free.
