Besides VCDs, Nero Burning ROM is also good for burning MP3 files to Audio CDs, creating disc images, CD labels and bootable CDs. I highly recommend it. Let's look at the inputs and outputs to burn VCD discs with Nero. The input is a VCD compliant MPEG-1 video file lying in your PC's hard disk. The intended output is a physical VCD disc that will play on your PC or standalone player. If you're trying to convert a large MPEG-1 file to VCD, as explained in this article, you will have cut up the MPEG file into two parts. Each part will need to be burnt onto a VCD using the procedure below. Let's look at what we need: Step 1: Start Nero Burning ROM First launch Nero Burning ROM - you are
presented with the New Compilation dialog. Scroll down the list until you see
the Video-CD option. Choose it. If your video files are in PAL format, choose
the PAL radio button in the Encoding resolution tab. If they are in NTSC format,
choose NTSC. The selection of encoding format also affects the format of the
menu screen. Step 2: Add MPEG-1 Video Next, drag & drop the MPEG-1 video file to the
Nero track list. Step 3: Burn Your VCD The last step is to write the VCD onto a CD-R or CD-RW medium. Just open up the Write CD-dialog, and check the Write and Finalize CD checkboxes. Leave the other two boxes unchecked. Please note a couple of things at this point before you press the Write button. If you ever intend to view the VCD on a standalone player, it's highly advisable to: Many DVD-players have difficulties with CD-Rs written at high speeds. If you're looking for good CD-R media, I recommend Verbatim or Sony - I never have a problem with those. OK, ready? Click on the Write button, wait a couple of minutes, and enjoy your VCD! That's all you need to burn VCD discs with Nero Burning ROM. Note that Nero Burning ROM also
enables you to burn VCD menus, which is very cool. However, we did not do this
here as we are burning one huge MPEG-1 file onto a CD-R. A menu screen is more
useful if you have a series of small MPEG-1 video clips to be burnt on the VCD. Conclusion Well, now that you know how to burn VCD discs using Nero Burning ROM, you can start converting your movies to VCD. I've converted many of my old movies in a similar manner to prevent them from cluttering my computer's hard disk. Try the above steps the next time you're creating VCDs - you'll find that the procedure is a breeze.
