If you're making a VCD, that's not an option, the mpeg has to be 325x240 and 1150 kbps (for NTSC). DVD players can be picky about the type of CDs you use, try burning the VCD on differnet color media, or a CDRW. My apex skips every couple of seconds on silver CDs.

that's 352x240
yeah, my roommate's dvd player would read CD-RW discs but not CD-Rs

Give it a try with a cdrw - they seem to be the most compatible with DVD players. You can look up your player on this site and see if it plays cdrs or cdrws.

thanks, but i decided to burn it first as a data cd, then put it on PC and burn it as vcd with that.. and it worked perfectly.... hmm..
