I have some video footage that's about 3 minutes long that I captured from my vcr. The file right now is about 610mb large. I would like to put the video onto a cd as a svcd that is playable in a pc dvd player. I have Nero 5.5.6.4. And I have Adobe Premiere 6.01 just in case somebody needs to know this info. The file I'm using is in avi format right now. Do I need to encode it first before making the svcd? Or should I just let nero encode it (which seems to take hours and hours)? The end result that I want, is a svcd, that will be playable with decent quality at full screen, and possibly have a menu. But maybe there's some settings in Nero that I'm overlooking or something. I've made many coaster so far, and I'm fed up because I can't seem to make this work right.
