Strange TMPGEnc problem...

[$$$am]

I just got a ripped copy of Princess Mononoke from a friend and I am going to burn it into a VCD to watch on my television.

I've done this before so I don't need help learning what to do, I just get a strange problem when doing it with this movie. This is what I do: I take the ripped copy of Princess Mononoke and since it is about 130 minutes long it is too long for one CD, so I use a program called Easy Video Splitter to split the movie into two movies.

After I have split the movie into two movies I use TMPGEnc to change them from AVI to VCD format. Once it is all done on TMPGEnc the audio and the video are no longer synchronized! Meaning their mouths move after the sound comes! I have no idea why.

I have checked the original AVI file and the audio and video are together perfectly and I have also checked the split version of the AVI file and still it was fine. The only messed up version was the movie after being converted through TMPGEnc. Any ideas what's wrong?

I have had this same problem too with different files having different degrees of sync issues once TMPGenc gets done with them.
There are a few things I tried that helped to different degrees.
You could try using a external tool for handling the audio encoding.
I now use toolame. I also had the most success using v-dub to save the audio as a wave then use that wave as the audio source in TMPGEnc as opposed to the AVI's sound stream.
It seems like dropped frames in your original file is the cause of most sync issues (but since you have a ripped file - not captured, there might be some bad frames)

Try using DVD2SVCD or EAZY VCD.
