Software for VCD's - Page 3

After general guide you might want to know what software you will need in order to produce VCDs..Check Below to see which software makes the job

What software I will need?

The most useful software for VCD authoring is :

- Media Studio Pro (capture/editing)
- Adobe Premiere  (capture/editing)
- WebFlix Pro (for converting VCD back into MPEG)
- Panasonic Mpeg1 Encoder (encoding)
- XingMPEG Encoder (encoding)
- DVMPEG  Encoder (encoding)
- MPEG Producer Pro (encoding)
- QuickTime 4.0 Pro (import/export)

What about CDR Software?

From all the available CDR Software these are which support VideoCD :

1) Adaptec Ez CD Creator
2) Bs Recorder
3) CeQuadrat WinOnCD
4) CeQuadrat Video Pack 4
5) Nero
6) NTI CD MAker Pro

Best recording solution is CeQuadrat products. Both support VCD correctly. Video Pack, can be used for both authoring and recording a Video CD.

Video Pack 4 works both as a stand-alone software package and as an extension of WinOnCD on Win with all up-to-date CD Recorders. The software supports MPEG hardware - and software-encoding, and Video Pack now contains an internal AVI to MPEG conversion tool.

Only for recording I would suggest WinOnCD.

As for Ez CD Creator it never worked ok for me , either crashes or produces wrong VCDs. You should definantly avoid it.

Nero at last in his latest version added support for VideoCD. As it seems it supports it very good and you should test it..

NTI CD Maker Pro (standard package) seems also to support VideoCD. But it lucks on supporting CD-I devices (needs plug-in ,more $). So in other words you cannot play the produced VideoCDs on CD-I players. (Remember before buying it..)

Last haven't use B's Recorder to criticize it.
