first convert the file to mpeg if it isnt already. You can do

this by downloading tmpgenc.

Now heres the steps on how to convert if you should run into any
problems

Note!
To convert from DivX videos you have to install a DivX Codec
To convert from QuickTime MOV videos you must download the
QTReader.vfp, copy it to the TMPGEnc folder.
To convert from MPEG2 videos you might need the mpeg2 plugin,
extract and copy to the TMPGEnc folder. Or get a MPEG2 Codec and
you can open and play MPEG2 with most applications..

Launch TMPGEnc.

1. Browse to open the Video source(if you have trouble opening a

video file read the problem at the bottom of this page).

2. Hit the button Load at the bottom right and open the correct
Template that you find in the TMPGEnc folder under Templates,
open
VideoCD(PAL) if the original source in 25 fps or
VideoCD(NTSC) if the source in 29,97/30fps or
VideoCD(NTSCFilm) if the source is 23,97fps.

To check what the FPS (frames per second) is open the the
AVI/DiVX with Windows Media Encoder and select View->Statistics.
If the video is some strange fps as 20fps / 60fps or something
try with either PAL or NTSCFilm and see what looks best.

3. Select Settings. (see below)

4. Before You Hit Start, it is wise to use the File->Preview to

see how the video with look like and it's also good to make a
short sample before you encode the entire movie. You can encode
some seconds and Stop and view the output.

Settings
Under Video you can select quality, Use High Quality. (if it is
DivX, ASF to MPG you can use Low or Normal Quality).

Under Advanced select these settings.

Select Source Aspect Ratio select 1:1 (VGA).
and under Video Arange Method Full screen(keep aspect ratio).

If you want a fullscreen movie, if the source is in WideScreen

and you want it to be in FullScreen you just select under
Advanced under Video Arange Method: No margin(keep aspect ratio)
and TMPGEnc will then cut left and right so it will fit
FullScreen.

Second get a burning program I use Nero so i will give you the
steps for useing nero.
Launch Nero.Close the Wizard. Select File->New.
1. Select VideoCD
2. Select PAL or NTSC depending what format your source MPEG is
in.
And hit New.

1. Locate your .mpg and drag it(see picture below). Remeber that
you can add several .mpgs also, each mpg will be a own track on
the VCD and you can add data files also, just drag them to any
folder.

Note!!! If Nero complains you have encoded the VCD MPG file to
wrong format, you can then either let Nero encode to correct
format or check our VCD Convert guides so you have encode
correct or repair the MPG.

2. Check the time. It should be the same as in the movie.

3. Rename the CD to anything you like by clicking F2 on NEW.
4. Select File->Write CD.

1. Select Write speed, lower may work better if you get problem
playing the VCD. Select Track at once or Disc at once(it does
not matter) and Finalize CD.
2. Hit Write.
