nero burning problem !!!

hello, i used tmpg to encode some movies to svcd and it was o.k but when i'm trying to burn the movies so that my friends can watch them with a home dvd player it want recognize the disc . i'm using nero express to create a menu and cahpters so after the burn process is successful i'm geting some folders like mpeg2 folder and segment folder. but the dvd doesnt play them what's the problem ???

What do you try to make? DVD or SVCD? Some older players can't play SVCD and others can't play DVD-/+R/W. But you can't make a SVCD and burn it as DVD...

i'm trying to make a cd with svcd movies nero can create menu but it doesnt work for me it's supose to be very simple task with nero but the final cd doesnt work. it's just create some folders like segment svcd mpeg2

...and the CD with these folders should play on your standalone. Make sure to check the checkbox "standard conform CD". But Note: I'm using a german version of Nero so this checkbox could be named different. Some players can't play SVCD.

Can the dvd player read svcd discs? Cos mine can read VCD but not SVCD. If it can u should try creating an image of the svcd files (create the mpg files with another program instead of nero first) and then burn that image. Some players also get shitty when you overburn your svcd's.
