Very interesting stuff. I tried these steps below but got a "non-playable
disc" error on my DVD player...
- created movie from stills using MM2
- saved the movie as DV AVI.
- converted (encoded) the avi file to MPG for VCD.
- burned the resulting MPG file using Nero Express.
I have been trying to do this for over a week and have gone through
countless CD-R. My DVD player is a JVC which specifically says that it
supports VCD and SVCD. What the @$#%$%$#@ am I doing wrong?? :(
