OK im pissed like ****...before i had the problem that nero didnt have a MPEG-2 encoder but i fixed that, today i connected my new dvd system and it supports VCDs, i was going to make one but then when it starts burning...step 1 is encoding and i get that error below, even if i get this to work again, nero just makes it too big to be written on a CD-R, one of my friends used some utility when he ripped dvds to SVCDs and it allowed him to burn 850 mb movies onto CD-Rs...anyone know how to fix that nero problem (i tried 2 versions of nero6 already, reinstalled them both) or of any other good software to let me burn them (possibly a software just for VCDs/SVCDs??), thanks all
