Does anyone know of a video conversion program can convert an AVI file to mpeg? Also a windows media player file to mpeg?

Making a VCD isn't as simple as burning the mpegs to a cd-r. A VCD also needs quite a few other files and headers to play as a VCD. A VCD contains 4 folders, the mpegs are located in one of these. You can do this manually but its quite difficult, you should try to find a program to do this for you.
Also, I hate to sound negative but many stand-alone DVD players don't like cd-r's. Its worth making sure that the DVD players you intend to watch the discs on will not only play VCD's but also cd-r's as pre-recorded, bought VCD's are not the same as ones you have burned yourself using cd-r's.
I hope it works for you but you could save yourself a lot of time and effort if you find out first that your equipment isn't compatible.

Its not really time effort if Im not doing anything else, I only work on it during my spare time. But I thank you for the advice, I do have Roxio which has a VCD program.
My Video card has S-Video out but my the TV in my room doesnt have a S-Video in. But maybe Ill try it one day.
Ok, thanks Dan.
Id have to get a converter and then get a converter to turn it into a cable line because that the only way to get anything into my TV. But the good thing is, is that I know someone who works at circuit city and he can get me stuff at cost.
