I'm trying to make an SVCD from an avi using TMPGEnc Plus & the header trick. When I play it back with WMP, the picture is good, but the sound is 'warbly'. I'd expect something like this because of WMP not having the proper codec. When I play it back using Xing Player, the audio has dropouts. If I burn an SVCD & play it back in my DVD player, a Panasonic DVD-CP67, the picture & sound is jerky. If I scan forward & press play, the picture smooths out, but there is no audio. After a few seconds, the screen goes black, then the picture & audio come back, but both are jerky again.
I've scanned for bad frames, used tooLAME & used VDUB to create a wav file, but when I encode the mpeg2, the same thing happens. I've also increased the priority of the DirectShow Multimedia File reader, but to no avail.
I have the feeling my system's too slow:
Celeron 433
Asus P299B mobo
Maxtor 80gig hd
Voodoo Banshee 16mb VC
SB Awe 64 SC
I shut down all un-needed programs when encoding.
Does anyone have an idea as to what's happening?
