Hello all,
I have had this problem for a long time and no one has been able to tell me why. But I have the answer!
Which I found quite by accident.
For some unknown reason TMPGenc makes VCD's that dont play correctly on all DVD players (my own included). After about 5 mins the video speeds up and becomes out of sync! Then slows down again and is back in sync.
I don't know why this happens, but I have the solution (it works for me anyway)

Encode as normal using TMPGenc.
Then use MPEGtools (within TMPGenc from the File menu) to de-multiplex the mpeg. Select 'Simple De-multiplex' tab load your .mpg into input the a/v output will then appear, rename the extensions .mpv(from .m2v) and .mpa(from .mp2).
Once you have got seperate audio and video files re-multiplex them using Xing 2.0 encoder, this does not effect the quality it just merges the 2 files back to a .mpg (be sure to choose VCD for the job in Xing). (I don't know if any other multiplexing software works because I've only used Xing).
Burn the .mpg to CD as normal and hey presto a working VCD with no sync problems!
If you have got A/V sync problems and this post helps you or this method solves your A/V sync problems please reply to this post.
Thx Daz
