How to Create a VCD Using Nero

VCD stands for "Video CD." This format permits you to create a DVD-type video using a regular CD. VCDs store up to 80 minutes of video recording and you can play such discs on any standalone DVD player. The popular burning program Nero supports common video formats, including AVI, MPEG and WMV, allowing users to convert video files to a VCD.
