What's the different? And what are ways to get a video file from your computer to burn to CD to play in your DVD player?

just different compression formats for vcd's, i think. pretty much any cd burning program should be able to create a vcd, its just an mpeg burned raw to a cd.

idk what all that jibberish was but, if you have nero express then you can burn files to a CD-R that is playable in most dvd players. It automatically changes the file to the right format during the burning process...oh you can make super video cd's too....it is a SVCD, high quility MPEG's/pictures on cds....oh and you can make your own menu too, if you want to have mutliply files....i don' t know if this helps but....get nero express

There are plenty of free converters around which will convert most things you need from most things you,ve got, try and stick with the trial versions though as the free ones tend to be full of spyware, there are enough 30 day free trial ones to use them for the free time period then uninstall them and get another one, some are better than others but all seem to do the job. some will even install again for 30 days after youve uninstalled them.
