New Method with Nero Burning ROM 5.5

Nero Burning ROM 5.5 now includes a built in AVI to MPEG-1/VCD converter. All you need to do is :

Download Nero Burning ROM 5.5 from the official site

You'll have to first find out whether your AVI/DivX file is PAL or NTSC. Right click on your AVI/DivX file, select "properties" and go to the "detailed" section. In the "Video Format" section, it should say something like

576 x 304, 24 Bits, 3460 Frames, 23.976 Frames/Sec, 127 KB/Sec, DIVXMPG4 V3

the "23.976 Frames/Sec" is the frames per second property of your AVI/DivX file. 23.976 == NTSC Film ; 25 == PAL ; 29.97 == NTSC.

Put a new blank CD-R in your CD-writer drive

Start Nero Burning ROM 5.5 and start a new "VideoCD" compilation. Now you'll need to choose PAL or NTSC mode, depending on your existing AVI/DivX file. Press the "New" button to start the new compilation.

A new window should open, and you should drag in your AVI/DivX file into the following window :

Once you have finished dragging in your videos (you can drag in about 70 minutes of video per 650 MB CD), from the "File" menu, select "Write CD". Feel free to change some of the CD writing options (such as Lable, writing speed ...), and click on the "Write" button when you are finished.
