VCD format must respect some specs. If you need to play the VCD you produced on Home DVD Players, you must respect these specs.

Frame format (PAL) 352x288 Video Bitrate 1150 kbit/sec Audio Bitrate 224 or 192 kbit/sec

To perfectly encode your source (AVI preferred), you can use TMPEnc, wich is freeware, easy to find in internet.

Burn with Nero or Adaptec SW, using the VCD profile.

Good luck
