Recording videos on CD

Hi there

I wonder if someone could help me with the following:
I am using Windows ME.
I have d/l some Westlife videos, they are in the format .mpeg and they play
on Media Player on my PC. Can I write these to CD and then play them on my
TV using my Pioneer DV-340 DVD player. It supports obviously DVD video but
it also says that it plays 12 cm MPEG1 Max 74 min and 8cm MPEG1 Max 20 min.
How do I record these videos on CD? My computer CD player is a LG 12x8x32
speed

If u cant help I will post on the n/g.

If MPEG1 burn as VCD or if MPEG2 as SVCD using your preferred CD mastering
application such as Ahead's Nero, Roxio's EZ-CD or CeQuadrat(now Roxio)'s
WinOnCD.

Hi

Thanks for the info. How do i determine if the file is MPEG1 or MPEG2?
It is just called Westlife - World of our Own (NEW VIDEO.mpeg.
If I look in properties it does not show any further info.

Thanks
Nigel

You can download the useful GSpot from http://www.headbands.com/gspot. Whilst
mainly intended for establishing the codec used to encode avi files it can
tell you whether an mpg is MPEG1 or MPEG2. Start GSpot, load the file and
then click Render. This will then tell you whether the video source is MPEG1
or MPEG2.
