Thanks again.

Many DVD Players have problems playing SVCD, let alone XSVCD. All I can suggest is give one a go, you have nothing to loose. Set it up before going to bed and all should be done for you in the morning, then as dik suggested, burn out at 8x.

Which is better to export as mpeg, or bin/cue format. Also Why?

In my experience with both formats, bin& cue is far more the best simply because I can scroll through the chapters. Burning MPEG2, I can only ff and ff rewind. Remember that you'll need about 2.5 gig extra on your hd to create bin& cue m8.

When I use DVD2SVCD to make SVCD's I like to make Cue/Bin files as I like to put in the DVD front cover as an intro picture, chapters and a Change CD pic at end of disk 1. DVD2SVCD does it all automatic for a cue/bin file. If I make just an mpg file, I can do all the same in VCDEasy but I have to do it manually. VCDEasy makes better quality initial pictures though, so the choice is yours really.

CM,
What dvd cover program do you consider to be the best? I'm currently using CoverXP Pro and this program literally supports every cover template.

I like the way threads here got to about 6 different topics which bear no resemblence to the original question asked! Doesnt anyone actually like starting new threads ?

I dont use any DVD Cover printing software as I dont put my DVD in those bulky normal cases, I use slimline crystal ones which takes a normal CD sized printed cover.
