divx to mpeg problems

[THeBOy2k]

lo all
right hopefully someone else has had this problem
cause i cant figure it out.

basically i uncompress the sound:
then test to see if it still runs ok - it does

then i convert to mpeg1:
then test to see if it still runs ok - it does

then split the mpeg into two files:
then test to see if it still runs ok - it does

then use nero to burn it to a vcd:
i test it on my pc and it runs fine.
i test it on my dvd player and it jerks
both the sound and the picture stutters at constant intervals.
Does anyone know why it would be doing this

cheers guys

THeBOy2k,
Off hand, I'd suggest a media problem.

Here's my DivX to VCD/SVCD method.

1. Open DivX AVI in VirtualDub.
2. Set Audio --> Full processing mode.
3. Set audio Compression to PCM (retaining frequency and precision and number of channels - simply an MP3, WMA, etc. to PCM WAV conversion) and save WAV checking to make sure movie duration and WAV duration match.
4. Create an AVISynth script if resizing, smoothing, etc. is warranted, or if creating more than one CD. The reason is that AVISynth re-keys the DivX AVI as it decodes it and each frame is then a keyframe. This is important if the video is to be split across more than one CD, as cuts can only be made at keyframes - on some DivX the KF interval can be 10 seconds.
5. Or, if not, open DivX directly in TMPGEnc.
6. Convert to (S)VCD. If more than one CD is required, I use the same video and audio source files, but set the Source range in TMPGEnc Advanced options to delimit each CD of video.
7. Burn with Nero.
8. Rip MPEG from burned (S)VCD with VCDGear and run a binary compare with the original - FC from command prompt. The reason for this is that not all media is created the same. I've burned some MPEGs to CompUSA's generic CD-R's. Nero said all was OK, but the resultant playback wasn't - the picture regularly would go black for about 6 frames every five seconds. The comparison of the ripped MPEG assures that the burn was indeed successful. TMPGEnc standard VCD MPEGs can be directly compared, but other encoders, like Ligos and, IIRC, Panasonic, can not.

I know much of this seems like overkill, but the last thing I want to do is to pop a CD in my DVD player to watch a flick and only then realize that it's buggered.

Hope this helps,
G
