Let me begin by saying Im relatively new to this, and I dont quite understand the terms used in most cases. I have searched the forum thoroughly for what I need, but have had no luck.

My problem is this.

I have a DVD that contains 6 episodes of a particular show. I have ripped each episode into an .mpg file and each is now on my hard drive. I have used DVDx to do this. No problems.

When I try to put 3 onto a disk in VCD format using VCDEasy (cause 6 wont fit) the DVD player only recognises the first episode. So the other 2 are lost.

I have tried to 'merge' the .mpgs into one and burn that, but still it only plays the first, even theough the merged .mpg is the size of three.

I have succesfully ripped full movies before and used VCD format to burn onto 2 disks. Never had a problem. Just now while trying to burn more than one episode.

Obviously I am missing something very simple. I might seem dum to you guys with experience, but its all a learning curve.

HOW DO I GET THE DVD PLAYER TO RECOGNISE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE 3 EPISODES ON THE ONE DISK?

I only wish to use VCD format and Im not interested in SVCD.

Please Help.........

This does not sound like DVD2SVCD issue, so it's been moved the the VCD/SVCD forum.

Expecting or asking for an answer by email is not what a forum is about. If you want to get help here then the answer will be posted here if anyone can help you.
