Sync problems...motion speeds up...then goes normal

[wipeout]

Assuming that my Daewoo 5000N is working correclty, what would cause a burned vcd to sometimes have the frames run very quick then go back to normal (Sync issues). On some burn vcd...not a problem. This only occurs for a second.

If I go back to the same scene...it does not always do it.

Is this due to the quality of the DVD player to handle the material? (like the old Matrix issues with old DVD players)?

If I pause and run the cd, it helps correct the problem....that may mean a DVD problem...but the unit plays other VCD and DVD just great.

Or is this a encoded function that is due to TmPGenc settings?

Sounds like a drop-frame problem being compensated by your player. Dropped frames are usually due to bad or corrupted frames if it happens during playback on video formatted media. Corrupted frames are usually due to the burning or authoring problem. You can rule this out by comparing it with the original MPEG you used to burn to CD.


I assume you burnt at the highest speed where your burner can support which is usually not recommended.

The rule of thumbs is:

highest speed of writer / 2 or
highest speed of media / 2

with the media speed takes the higher priority.


This theory is based on some engineering practices used in manufacturing environment. Things always work less well at the extremes.
