mpg to svcd

apeking

Dont know if this is really basic and i am missing something but i have a svcd file(it says svcd in the file name) and it contains two .mpg files.
Usually when i dl vcd they come in .bin files so i am wondering how to burn them onto cd which will work in a dvd player?? They are both 812mb long and i know this isnt a problem when they are usually image file as nero looks after them some how.

Any help would be great,

My guess is that the .mpg are MPEG-2 (SVCD) files.

In Nero's "New Compilation" dialog, choose Super-Video CD. You'll have to choose PAL or NTSC (depends on the files), then click on New.

Now drag the first of the MPG files into the "Videos/Pictures" area. (might be a dit different depending on which version of Nero you have). And then Burn.

That's how it should work anyway.

Thats what i taught but nero doesnt recognise the files when i goto open, i might just drag it in and burn it. Just wrecking nother cd.......oh well


EDIT: Just tried that and get error "unexpectd file format"

Am now making a image of the file and then going to burn that, i'm sure there is an easier wa though

get a little app called vcdgear this will create bin and cue 's for you
it also works the other way around and extracts mpegs
