Greetings, I am in the process of trying to compile all my digital photos plus audio. Understand that it got to be on VCD Extended format. Using WinOnCD 3.7PE, I am confused by the usage. Would be appreciate it if someone could shed some lights on this. Would like to know the step-by-step procedure. Nothing much is mentioned on the help file.TIA.

I have been making slide show with pictures using mpeg2 and making a SVCD that will play in a DVD player. The look real good. I play them on a Apex DVD player hook to a 45 inch TV. I use Visual Studio to make the movie. Then Dvmpeg and I Author to make a Svcd image file that Easy CD Creator will burn. I have each picture play for 15 seconds. If you need help getting DVmpeg and I Author let me know.

Burning a movie that comprises images or photos is not the best approach, because it delivers poor pictures. Using Nero 5 you can burn Jpeg images or photos in the VCD format (or SVCD but I dont see a difference): just drag the JPEG images of any size or resolution from the right to the left panel. Nero will make automatically the other files. The clarity of the images on my DVD is much much better. Moreover, you can use the remote of your DVD to control the pace of image display. Work better on CDR, results were poor with CDRW. (no multisession). My DVD playuer is the Pionner DV-434 and I gave a Hitachi 53 inches projecion TV.

Quote: "Using Nero 5 you can burn Jpeg images or photos in the VCD format (or SVCD but I dont see a difference)." Nero tells us that stills will be recorded in high quality in VCD too when the source size is large enough, e.g. at least 704px * 576px (PAL). It therefor does not make much sense to burn in SVCD-format. The size of the .dat-files remains 345 KB regardless of the normal or high quality output. This puzzles me a bit though.Friendly greetings, Eppo R. Kooi.
