[VCD] Audio and Video out of sync problem...

[[dP]Kali]

I have what i believe to be the oddest problem. Hope this is in the right forum!

I am new to VCD's, but i been doing Divx for about a year now, so im familiar with alot of the tools and stuff. I made my first VCD (from start to finish). i used the guide here using the Divx -> VCD guide (http://www.vcdhelp.com/divxtovcd.htm). I played it on my comps DVD player and it works fine (audio matches up) I play it on my standalone DVD player and the audio is behind the video. I tried other VCD's that I have not made myself, but they "lag" behind also. BUT one VCD works well on the standalone DVD player !! That was what REALLY threw me off. At first i thought my DVD player didnt like VCD's, or was cheap, but ONE of them worked fine! The rest all were about a second behind the video, throughout the movie. I searched the forums, and haven't seen anything like this!

I cant figure out why 1 VCD out of 10 works !
DVD Player is a Daewoo 5800

anyone ever seen this before ?

i was reading the manual and it said somethign about audio and video sync adjusting for VCD's with PBC ... what is this ?

Please help, as you can see Im a bit confused !

its probably because the divx audio was encoded at a different rate.
to solve your problem, use Virtual Dub. open dub, select audio tab, click full processing mode, then conversion, change setting to 44100hz (standard for MPEG) and VCDs. Open avi file, then "save wav". depending upon processor speed it takes about 5 min to decompess the file. When you convert to video to mpg, with TMPGEnc for example, use the video file plus the new "wav" file, and when it is finished to should be in perfect sync.

hope that helps

I did that already ( It said to in the guide )

I just reburnt it at a slower speed (4x) and i still get the same problem!

This is SO frustrating !

I have the same problem. I have found mpg-2 (svcd and sxvcd) doesn't have this problem on my GE 1101P. If your dvd player can play mpg-2 give it a try.
