Sorry to bug you all with this ... but I am having trouble with Nero, everytime I try to burn a VCD about 5% into encoding it ... i get a message saying 'Unknown Error with Video MPEG Encoder' or something like that.... I am pretty low on comp memory, hence why i am trying to burn everything then delete it....

anyone have any ideas... i would be greatly appreciative for any advice whatsoever.

thanks in advance

Oh hey Vicks, l use Nero Express to burn videos. Been doin' it for quite some time now actually. LOL.

Ok this is what l do --> First off l burn my vids onto CD-R cd recordable disc's and you can get them practically at any store. Hell even the dollor stores here has them. lol.
Anyway make sure your settings are on D: HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8525B [CD-R/RW] and then choose Videos/Pictures|Video CD. Then start pulling over the vids you wanna burn. Oh yeah l almost forgot, make sure your yellow maker is at 74 min and your red marker is at 80 min. You can switch it in Configure on the first page when it open's up. DO NOT PASS THAT RED LINE! If you do you're last couple of vids probably will not get encoded and copied. Happened to me once. LOL

Then once you're finished pulling over all of your vids just click next and choose your settings (layout, background, Text, etc...) click next again for the last time and click on the burn option and woohoo! You've done it.
Now you just wait for like an hour or so until it's done.

Hope that helps ya out Vicks.

Also l think the problem with 'Unknown Error with Video MPEG Encoder' thingy is that one of the videos is not burnable. At least l think it's the vid because this has happened to me before as well. l had to find which vid and convert to avi, l think. l can't really remember cause it happened along time ago but l remember it had to do with a video.

Have you played all of them in Nero to see if they all worked fine? You might wanna try that.

LOL absolute legend!!! l feel so old.

No Nero should accept both avi and wmv files. l think l tried to burn a RM video or it was a Quick Time one last time and niether of them would encode.

So l had to convert it into an avi/wmv type of file.
Any of your vids in RM pr QT? Cause that might be the problem if they are.
Avi and WMV files should both burn easily and fine in Nero. They do in mine anyway.
