i use Nero 5 to burn VCD's from original mpeg/dat/avi files.
however, it seems that there is a high chance (~50%) that the VCD will come
out blurred, cackles, jumpy, or cannot be read properly by a DVD player.
Before I burn the VCD I always checkto make sure the original mpeg/dat/avi
files are very clear and smooth when played using Win Media on a PC.

Does anyone know why the VCD becomes crappy? and only sometimes, and not all
the time? is there something i am not setting in Nero? or is there some
tricks to it?

I used to get that when I done them, In Nero 6 it give you an option to burn
SVCD (Super VDC) I've never tried it my self but im sure someone can tell
you how to do it. Also try writing at a slower speed.

usually it is the conversion process from different formats to VCD
compatible MPEG 1 or MPEG2 that may introduce problems in sound or picture
quality, or sound synchronization issues. A better conversion program may
help. Nero's conversion isn't that great. Try TMPGEnc.

I use Nero regularly to do this though only with MPEG's and no problems.
Close all unnecessary background apps, keep HDD well defragmented and more
memory may help.

I agree Kenny, Nero is one of the best out there. Clone CD/DVD is also a
brilliant program..

A much better encoder, if not the best is TMPGenc as mentioned above.
Test it out and check the end results
