How to Convert Real Player to VCD
To create Video Compact Discs (VCDs), use a CD/DVD burner, a blank disc and a CD authoring and burning application such as Nero Vision. The Nero Vision application will create VCDs from compatible video file types by burning the video onto a CD-ROM for playback on a VCD player, a VCD-enabled DVD player or on a PC. Real Media video files must first be converted to the AVI (or other Nero Vision-compatible) video file type. Once converted, the AVI file is added to a Nero Vision VCD project, and is automatically converted into the VCD format during the burning process.
