NTSC-film in avi to NTSC vcd??

[Mr Walker]

I got this Movie in a 2-disc 23,976fps aviformat. How do i convert this to 29,97fps vcd?
Even when i'm trying to convert to NTSC-film vcd in TMPGENC the sound get out of synch.

I copied both files to HD, loaded them in VD and frameserved the whole movie to TMPGEnc. The audio seems fine in the beginning but out of synch in the end. Seems like the avi has VBR-audio, at least VD said so.

A few suggestions:-

firts off, why are you using vdub to frameserve, unless you are using it to apply filters before encoding I personally view it as an unnecssary step. Also, I have read plenty of posts that say vdub has problems with some VBR audio streams.

What I would suggest is extracting the audio from your avi using besweet. It handles vbr audio well. Use this as the audio input file directly to TmpGenc or, if you must frameserve from vdub, encode video only with TmpGenc and multiplex the audio after. Also, make sure you select the NTSC(film) vcd template.

Hope this helps

Well as the goal was to get he movie to one disc it seemed like a good idea to encode it as one file, wich VD usually manage to "append file" very good. When merging 2 mpg-files the transition usually don't look so good.
