DVDLab definitely does NOT like non-standard formats nor does it like VCD. (as Viper has noted above)I think you're going to have to re-encode them into a format your player (and dvdlab) will accept.

[QUOTE="rebootjim, post: 225290, member: 73677"] OK, wait, I'm confused. You said above that they are 320x240. That is a non-standard format, which is why dvdlab is freaking out. VCD is 352x240. You can encode them in SVCD (480x480) if your player will play them, otherwise you must encode in DVD (720x480) for them to play, or halfD1 (360x240).
