Problems with DivX -> VCD conversion attempt

[Guest]

I'm trying to convert a DivX movie to VCD format. I've googled the
question, and haven't been able to find a satisfactory solution to the
problem.

The program I tried using was called "DVD2SVCD" with the encoder
TMPGEnc. When I tried converting the DivX file to VCD format, I get a
bunch of files that make little sense. There's an MP2 audio file (ok),
and there's also a WAV file that's around 500 MB big (?!) In addition
to that, the movie file itself is unplayable on Windows Media Player.

I don't know if I'm using wrong settings, wrong codecs, or wrong
programs. The DivX file plays just fine, but I can't seem to convert
it to a different format. Anybody have a straightforward way of
converting DivX files into VCD format?

You should have used Tmpgenc directly. Your source material is not
DVD, after all.

Open the Avi in Tmgpenc, load the VCD template, click start, and you
shall get a VCD compliant .mpg file. To author it, you can use Nero,
VCDEasy, ...
