How to make a VCD/DVD/SVCD file to a CD?
'AVI to VCD / DVD' is just the file encoder. You will still need a CD recording application which can create all the required structures required for a VCD/DVD/SVCD, as well as write the mpeg files to individual tracks on the VCD/DVD/SVCD. There are several such packages out there such as NTI CD Maker, the full (Deluxe or Platinum) version of EZ CD Creator, InstantVideo, Nero, etc. YOU CAN'T JUST RECORD THE MPEG TO A CD AND EXPECT IT TO PLAY IN A DVD PLAYER! If your CD recording application can create VCD/DVD/SVCD's, there will be an explicit setting for creating a VCD/DVD/SVCD. Check your manual. For example, with Easy CD Creator, you need to use the EZ VCD Creator application which comes with it. For InstantCD, you need to use the InstantVideo selection in the startup menu.
Input AVI specification
'AVI to VCD / DVD' will encode avi files that fit the following limitations:
Note that ??AVI to VCD / DVD?? only supports 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60 frames per second. If a media file is used that has a lower or higher frame rate than the above, and the Repeat Frame option is not used, the ??AVI to VCD / DVD?? will play back faster or slower than normal. The Repeat Frame option can be used for a crude frame rate conversion, but other than that, no frame rate conversion is performed.
Also, ??AVI to VCD / DVD?? only supports 22.05, 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz 16-bit audio. 8-bit audio is converted to 16 bit and 22.05 kHz audio is converted to 44.1 kHz. Other audio types are not supported and the audio from the media file being added will not be used (the video can still be included). If the first media file added has a certain kHz rate, all other media files added must have the same rate or their audio will not be used. ??AVI to VCD / DVD?? also converts all audio to stereo, if it is not already stereo.
The video codec used should be compatible with DirectShow.
Note that for best quality, there are preferred values which will not
require 'AVI to VCD / DVD' to resize or resample the input to match VCD
specifications. The ideal values are (depending on target format):
NTSC:
Horzontal width: 352
Vertical height: 240
Frames per second: 29.97
Colour depth: 24 or 32 bits
PAL:
Horzontal width: 352
Vertical height: 288
Frames per second: 25
Colour depth: 24 or 32 bits
AUDIO (NTSC, PAL, or FILM):
44.1KHz, 16 bit, mono or stereo
If you don't know what the parameters of the video file you have are, in
explorer, right click on the file once, then select 'Properties',
then select the tab 'Details' or 'Summary', depending on the version of
Windows.
Output MPEG specification
Resolution
If this resolution is not the same as the input files, they will be resized or cropped according to the 'Convert to output resolution by' option. Common resolutions include 352x240 for NTSC VCD, 352x288 for PAL VCD, 480x480 for NTSC SVCD, 480x576 for PAL SVCD, 720(704)x480 for NTSC DVD and 720(704)x576 for PAL DVD.
Audio
If none of the media input files contain audio this will be set to none and no audio is encoded. Only 32, 44.1 (22.05 is converted to 44.1) and 48 kHz, 16-bit stereo audio is output by 'AVI to VCD / DVD'.
