Hi. I was just messing with Video CD Creator, when I was told that one of the videos I was trying to add to my layout wasn't compliant with Video CD Creator. It mentioned finding an MPEG encoder that supports it, but I'm unsure of what encoders do.
Any help will be appreciated, Thank You!

An encoder is a piece of software that takes your video and converts it into the digital "code" that your video CD software can understand and work with. When you view a digitized video, a decoder processes the data back into video. These are alsoreferred to as "codecs", that both encode, and decode.

I would start by going to the software manufactures web site and seeing if they have any encoders or "codecs" that are "plug-ins" for the software. These will work best with the video CD software.

Next, try some of the download sites like zd-net, cnet, no-nags, or completely free software. They all have an assortment of software products for file format conversion.

If your software can process other mpeg video, it is possible thatwhoever created this mpeg used a special encoder.

Thank You For Your Help Chas, It was not only informative, but also, very helpful. I had taken another look at it, and found out that my problem was, I needed to edit/ rename the file.
