Since its say vcddistro in the filename dont you think its already encoded for vcd?

Can you play it with WMP or anything?

No, it's not already a VCD because it's an AVI file. Needs to be an MPG for VCD.

But usually TMPGenc would work to make it an MPG. Since it's saying "unsupported file" and it shouldn't say that about a typical AVI file, there might be something wrong the with file. Or the AVI format may be just very unusal.

As for what to do about it. I'd keep trying various software to see if anything could open the file. I'd suggest you try to open it with Virtual Dub. If it will open the file, then I'd set both the audio and video to DIRECT STREAM COPY (that way there's no unneeded compression and no loss of quality) and then just save it as an .AVI file. This will hopefully produce a normal, quirk free .AVI file that you can then open with TMPGenc and save as a VCD ready MPEG-1 (or 2). . . assuming that's your goal.

Really helpful Elite_Monkey.

***

robin801, you will need to find a convertor from AVI to MPEG. do a google search "avi to mpeg" There is an app out there called avi2mpeg.

Then after you have done that, you can either use NERO straight to make the VCD, Nero has a build in feature in the wizard to help you do it. If your encoding is wrong, NERO will try to fix it.

The quality NERO makes is not great, which is too bad, so the best way is to do the right encoding yourself and then use the wizard.

Good Luck!

But she has an AVI to MPG encoder...TMPGenc. But for some reason it's choking on this file.

There's also, one called AVI2VCD which is just another one to try if all others fail.
