I have tried the freeware version of TMPGEnc-2.521 and cannot get the svcd to work on my DVD player. It will work on my computer. My DVD player can play SVCD's. I did convert the PTE first. Like I say, it does work on my computer. I see that the owner of PTE is thinking of making his own MPeg-2 converter. Maybe that is what will be the answer. I too wonder if I can put an exe file on the same CD as Mpeg. Dennis
