been trying o write vcds for ages, they play but get a bit were they stick like a scratched cd, 3 times ive done it and 3 times it stickes in diff locations

www.vcdhelp.com

 

tried there ranj couldnt find help

 

95% of laptops have tv out

just get latest drivers from the manufacturers website

put in video cable

and press the required keys (fn & f8 on mine)

better than arsing around with converting to vcd

divx on tv - much better quality anyway

 

hmn looking at back of my lappy i see on conection in yelow that kinda looks round like a mouse or keyboard port is that it?

what drivers do i update?

 

yes mate, that sounds like svideo output

that will carry just video signal though, you will need a 3.5mm jack to 2 phono connectors to plug into tv

see if ur tv has svideo connection else u can get svideo > scart

i'll let someone else sort ya drivers for ya, if its a vaio go to www.vaio-link.com otherwise try www.google.co.uk

 

What speed are you trying to write the V-CDs at?

The slower you do it the better the results usually.

Also - what software are you using to carry out the file conversion?

This site has a very good guide on what software you need and how to use it to create V-CD's, I've never experienced any problems like you've experienced by following this guide...

Hope that helps,

its a compac presario 2500, the 2.8 p4, 512 ddr version

model 2552EA

 

Definitely shouldn't have any problems with encoding the files then - and should be pretty quick at doing it too, use branded media (try to avoid blue backed discs - use labelled silver or gold backs if at all poss).

Cheers,

im wondering if my drive has issues?

tried playing the little girls dvd on me lappy today and no sound came out???

 

Could be an incorrect or corrupt driver.

Do a google search for the manufacturer of the drive and see if you can download the specific driver for your cd burner, they normally have the latest versions of drivers available on their company websites.

Cheers,

Andy
