I am having trouble with an MPEG1 concert that I downloaded. Nero says
the MPEG system stream is incompatible with VCD standards. The guy
who made these MPEG knows quite a lot about creating MPEGs/VCDs, and swears that the MPEGs are VCD compatible. In fact he watched a VCD he made out of the same mpegs on his stand alone DVD player to verify the compatibility. I tried to use iFilmEdit to fix the system clock reference on the mpegs and iFilmEdit said the "my.mpg is not a valid MPEG file". This very strange because I have used Ifilm edit to fix
MPEGs with incorrect system clock reference before.

Tried to re-encode the MPEGs with Panasonic's MPEG1 encoder and the program gave me a blank error message what a yellow triangle with a black "!" mark


I went ahead and turned off the VCD compliance and burned the VCD
with nero's vcd creator. After the first 4 mpeg's played back
perfectly, the VCD started to stutter badly on my Panasonic RV31
DVD player. My DVD player also reported that the total playing
time for the VCD was 73 minutes when in actuality the VCD was
around 65 minutes.

I figure all I need to do is fix the system clock reference and the MPEGs
would be 100% VCD compliant. I did try using VCD gear for this
purpose. VCD gear would fix the clock, but it would also delete
the last 10-30 seconds of each mpeg. I should mention that these
MPEGS are a rock concert with audio dubbed in from a compact disc source.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!!
