Hi is there a freeware program I could use to make VCD's (Svcd's would be
nice but not necesary)
Right now I'm using Nero 6 and experiencing a lot of lock ups.
my set up is
2600 (333) AMD atholon
512 ddr 333 ram
nvidia fx5200 128mb ram
windows xp (sp1 etc.)
All with latest drviers etc.

Any links, or just the names of any files to look for would be great.

Eazy VCD
http://www.eazyvcd.tk/
What Is Eazy VCD?
Now it's so eazy, even my sister can rip DVD's.
With Eazy VCD, you can easily backup your DVD's to VCD, XVCD. SVCD and
XSVCD in as little as one click of the mouse.
Sound to good to be true? Well it's not.

Make them from what? Suggest you visit the VCDHelp site
http://www.dvdrhelp.com/
which has lots of freeware solutions, usually based around the
classics Virtualdub and TMPGEnc.

Thanks very much,
I'm going to give the easy Vcd a try. and I'll be sure to spend
some time looking though the Vcd help site.
Once again thanks.

I see you are already getting plenty of help, here is another program
to try-

DVDx
DVDx allows you to convert DVD to VCD2.0 , SVCD1.0 or AVI (DivX...)
in one step (Including multiplexing, splitting). It produces good
quality movies in AVI , MPEG1/2 format and you don't need to have 5GB
or more free on your hard disk. DVDx has been designed especialy for
inexperienced users, it is a simple and intuitive program.
You need:

* DirectX8.1
* Adaptec ASPI driver (highly recommended)
* a tool to write your VCD,SCVD like Vcdeasy or Nero.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdx/

Very nice, I highly recommend it. :)
 
Hi having tried easy vcd. I've notice a problem.
I'm actually trying to convert\burn avi/mpeg/dvix etc. into vcd
(maybe svcd but not necassary)
most of the programs mentioned only seem to work with DVD's
So if any one knows any freeware for turning avi/mpegs etc. into vcd's
that can be played on a dvd player, I could still use the help.

Try VCDEasy. They've moved to pay (about $20), but the last free
version is still available at
<http://www.filemirrors.com/search.src?file=VCDEasy_v1.1.5.2_Setup.exe>.
It works great and will produce VCD and SVCD disks.

This program will ONLY create the disks, it is not a video capture or
edit program.

Hi

Have a look at these sites.

http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/

http://www.doom9.org

They have some excellent guides/tutorials on converting avi's etc to
VCD/SVCD/DVD. Some of the software they recommend and use in the
tutorials is freeware, but be warned that some is trialware, or
shareware.

Hope this info helps

JB

PS: Please don't top post.

Get tmgencfree at http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html it will convert avi
etc into mpeg1 for free, it will do mpeg 2 for 30 days then you have to
pay for that but after it will continue to do mpeg 1, once you have
converted then use vcdeasy, burn at as slow a speed as possible as well,
i do at 8x or 10x, any faster and they start to mess up on my dvd player.
