Upside-down encodes (VCD problem)

[aqzman]

Sometimes when I burn off VCD it ends up upside-down. This is really startiing to annoying because because I'm after getting about 10 costers. I know its not my burner because sometimes if I'm burning off 4 different videos 2 of them will be upside-down but the other 2 are fine. I use Nero version 5.5.10.15 and I just get it to encode my video over night. Does anyone know how I can stop this problem? Should I just switch over to VCDeasy?

Never ever use Nero to encode! Read the guides in ??? to VCD. The reason for the upsidedown problem is in one of your AVI filters, and would have been discovered much earlier using the right tools. In short:

• Open avi in VirtualDub.
  Scan for bad frames, and remove if necessary.
  Save AVI direct stream.
  Save audio as WAV
  Encode to MPEG with TMPGEnc, using this new avi and wav as video/audio source.
  Author with VCDEasy.
  Burn cue/bin with VCDEasy or Nero.

LOL. Upside down. Well, just flip the tv!

Seriously, its the encoder setup.
Use TMPGenc or something to encode before you get to Nero.
