How do I create a VideoCD from AVI or MPEG files?
This section assumes you already have the video on your computer. If you don’t know how to do that, read the previous section. If you want to try creating a White Book VideoCD, which can be viewed on a VideoCD playback device like a Philips CD-i or from a computer with appropriate hardware and software, CD-R software packages like Easy CD Creator and WinOnCD can write MPEG-1 movies onto a CD in the necessary format. You have to be careful when creating the MPEGs, because if the encoding parameters (frame rate, number of pixels, etc) don’t match the VideoCD parameters you may have trouble getting the CD writing software to accept the movie. John Schlichther’s “avi2vcd” combines standard tools into an easy-to-use program for Win95 and NT. You can use it to convert an AVI file into a VideoCD-compatible stream. http://www.mnsi.net/~jschlic1/. If you’re running Linux you should take a look at Bernhard Schwall’s “avi2yuv” program. It converts M-JPEG movies created with popular video capture
