Page 1 of making a VCD

not sure if this is software or hardware but I thought I`d start this here.

I`ve some mpeg recordings that I would like to give to friends, they don`t have a PC so I was thinking of burning them onto a CD-R as a VCD. What files would I need to put on to make the disc playable on a DVD/VCD player? If there software to do this (preferably free progs)?

There is a really excellent guide on how to do this on www.afterdawn.com

If your CD-R drive came with a recent copy of the Nero CD-burner software, it will produce a VCD from a file (or files) in the right format. I don`t recall the proper details for image size or frame rate, but otherwise it`s standard MPEG.

The VCD format looks like a standard CD-ROM but there are low-level differences.
