audio vs video

[playndirty101]

ok i downloaded Shallow Hal..

Used Vdub to extract the audio (AC3) and Headache to convert to Wav audio.

Then TMPGENC (toolame) to convert the avi to mpeg-1 (Vcd), when i pop it into my daewoo 5800 at first it played fine...as the movie goes every now and then the audio goes out of sync.. and the video hangs.

I did change the settings from cbr to automatic..( i guess this reduces block noise? max. 3000 and min 1000) used fps 23:995

What am i doing wrong? Please advise

maybe this should be moved to the advanced conversion?

If anyone could help thanks.

If you changed the bitrate setting from CBR to something else (VBR?) it is no longer VCD compliant. Re-encode the video with the standard template and see if that fixes it. It is quite likeley your DVD player cannot handle mpeg-1 at higher bitrates.

ok ill give it a shot..thanks

Do you think if i change the resolution/pixels would it ge rid of some block noise/

[bugster]

Dont change the resolution either, again it would be non-compliant. Make sure you can create/play fully compliant VCD's before messing with settings. If you want to reduce block noise there is a tick box to enable this option in Tmpgenc on the Settings->Quantize Matrix tab, try that, but it will reduce picture sharpness too.
