How do I make cd's that work on the telly
 

I have a few short mpeg clips I would like to be able to view on my tellevison through my cd/dvd player.

What or how do I do this, what format should I use to record the clips so that they will play on a cd.

I only have a cd writer and nero 5.

Thanks for any help

First you have to check to see that your DVD player can play video files on CD. If it lets you play things like DivX or VCD, that would be the format to choose to put them on CD.
You will need some converting software for this.

Alternatively, why not take out your CD Writer or keep it, and stick in a DVD Re-Writer. They cost less than £30 now and will let you make a DVD that is more likely to play on a DVD player.

Also A dvd Writher may give you the software to cut you're own DVDs.

If you do buy a DVD writer make sure it can cut the same DVDs as you standalone DVD player +/-

you say 'mpeg' files, Cambo - are they mpeg1, mpeg2 or mpeg4? - as far as I know nero5 is fine with mpeg1 files, so you would record as VCD - whether that is compatible with your player, only you can tell ;)
