I have a bunch of videos in several formats (mpeg, avi, mov, etc.) and I want to burn them all to a VCD. Does anyone know where can I download a program to convert the files and burn them in VCD format?

There are a number of different tools and programs...

To convert you will need a video encoder and an audio encoder. If you have Nero it will convert files to vcd/svcd and burn them. For just converting video/audio you can use tmpgenc. Depending on good of quality you want will determine how "complex" the process gets. DVD2SVCD is also another good one that works to do everything for you. It will do avi files but doesn't have the best recognition for many differing formats. However this program still needs tmpgenc or another encoder.

EO Video


EO video ♣ is what I always use and I highly recommend it Thumb Up
It's a Player,Joiner & Converter and does all the file types you listed and more. You can also download it off the net. Then I just use Nero to convert and burn it into VCD or SVCD format.

This program is excellent Thumb Up

One major benefit is that it can handle Realplayer, Quicktime and WMF files which many of the others (TMPGenc etc) won't touch.

Another one that's good for reading any format is Canopus Pro Coder 2 ♣Just give it a file, tell it the format you want - templates included - and off you go.

Ultimately TMPCGenc has the best (an fastest) MPEG1 (videoCD) encoder I've used and does a nice job of frame rate conversion for all those web files with stupid frame rates (12,15,30 fps etc.)

As to compiling the VCD, A good package which is dead easy to use is Ulead DVD Movie Factory


And here is one tip I would offer whichever option you go for.

No matter which package you use to compile to VCD (Nero, Ulead etc) don't let these recode the video to MPG1, the encoders they use are painfully slow and not that great.

Always provide them with VCD compliant files.

Also if you wanna go the extra mile and cram the VCD's with even more stuff, you can push the VCD standard a but more, but some players might not be able to play them - I'd suggest doing a test disc.

Here are some TMPGEnc templates to get get considerably more out of the disc.
