5. Nero Burning ROM (burn babie burn!)
LATEST Nero always!
If you just installed Nero, as soon as the program starts, click
on "Close Wizard" and from the left Column, select Super VideoCD.
In the VideoCD TAB "Create standard..." should be checked and
you should use MPEG2 as your folder, not MPEGAV.
In the File Options TAB Settings should be:
- ISO LEVEL 1
- ISO9660 for Character Set
- Both Relax ISO Restictions checked
- *ANY OTHER OPTIONS SHOULD BE GRAYED OUT, OTHERWISE YOUR
NERO IS TOO OLD*
In the Volume Descriptor TAB, choose a title. Do not put anything
else into the other text boxes.
In the Dates TAB, select "Use Date And Time from Original File"
In the Burn TAB, Only "Write" should be checked, I also suggest
you burn at a MAX of 4x, burning any faster may make your CD
not work in a standalone dvd player due to the quality of the
laser. (Not exactly that of an expensive cd-rom...)
Last note: DISC AT ONCE SHOULD NOT BE USED!! (This is
for maximum compatibility with other standalones only)
Click NEW/OK on the right top corner of the window. Now, find
the proper .mpg file you want to burn and drag it from the Files
Window to the Compilation window UNDER the track listing!
IMPORTANT! The SIZE of the mpeg file DOES MATTER...the
maximum amount of MB that you can fit in MODE2 (when burning
VCD/SVCD) is 10 times the number of minutes. So 740megs of VCD
or SVCD fit on a 74min CD, and 800megs of VCD or SVCD fit on
an 80min CD.. and so on.
If Nero complains after checking the SVCD you have done something
wrong while making your movie. Most likely just burning it anyway
will work.. If everything is ok and you get no error
prompts, go to File -> Write CD and click on BURN on the top
right corner.
Congrats!!!...You're done. Now
you can watch beautiful mpeg quality in a standalone DVD/VCD
player or your PC at home.
