VCDs

I have yet to see a VCD anywhere as good as old video tape. I don't know why people bother (unless it's for slide shows). I would suggest going to DVD.

All I can offer is what's on my page below. It's what works for me.

Try rebooting the machine just prior to starting the burn.

I've had problems at times when a video editor has been doing a lot of work and suddenly hangs. If I reboot prior to a major new operation, the problem is resolved. It may have something to do with not successfully releasing memory when a task is done.

Go here and download "dvd moviefactory" for a trial.

I don't know much about Nero 6, but does it have all the editing and encoding as well as burning? I have nero dvdexpress and all it does is burn because the encoding, image or dvd folder are created with other software/s. Good luck.
