Convert VCD to CDV? Possible to play on old players

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I was just wondering if it's possible to convert a VCD to a CDV format that the older Pioneer laserdisc players can play? Any tips or advice would be very much appreciated. Many thanks to anyone who responds.

No, CDV is in a proprietary format that cannot be burnt from a cd burner. Much like DVD.

well, i heard about this before and yes, it is possible.

First you use vcd2mpeg converter, after you have an mpg or a m1v file, use a special compression, called: jpeg1 I dont know any programs that does it. burn the jpeg1 on cd
