Question about encoding AVIs with TMPGEnc.

Hello all,

I recently created a number of AVIs from my digital camcorder. I used TMPGEnc to encode them (not sure why, but followed directions from www.vcdhelp.com) and then burned them to a CD. I brought them with me to Toronto, but they would not work on any machine I tried (tried 3).

I wanted to try them on the machine I created them on, but it would not start up last night when I got home. Hopefully, I can get it working soon. 🙁

What am I doing wrong or missing?

I tried a lot of them, but I finally choose to use the one with the biggest resolution display. I am not sure which one it was. I will check when I get home if I can get the machine running.
 
These machines, are they PC's or STB's? A compliant SVCD requires MPEG-2 codecs installed for the playback PC, these are usually installed with a software DVD player. If they are STB's, check the format compatability list at VCDhelp. Did they work on the PC you burned them on before going to Toronto?

What is an STB.

They did work on the PC that I created and burned them on.
 
What kind of cds were you trying to make? Were you trying to convert the files to mpeg1 or 2 so you could make vcd you could play in a dvd player?
 
The other machine probably doesn't have the codec you encoded the video in. Unless you burned them as a vcd or svcd. Then the machine just needs the ability to play those types.
