Audio Clicks playing certain MPEGs on my DVD Player

[mbrunet]

Hello all -

I searched for this topic on the forum and couldn't find anything quite like it...

I've been trying to burn a collection of music videos onto a VCD, and have been having the same problem with quite a few of them: the MPEGs I downloaded play fine on my computer, but when I burn them using VCDEasy, a bunch of them have constant high-pitched clicks/pops when I play them on my DVD player. Video looks fine on my player.

These files, for the most part, were all mpegs to start, so conversion shouldn't be part of the problem.

When I scan the "problem" mpegs using VCDEasy they all seem fine except that "mpeg padding will be performed on the fly", etc. b/c blocks are out of allignment. I tried repairing these files using TMPEnc, as well as breaking them down into .avi and .wave using VirtualDub and then re-encoding using TMPEnc, but the problem persists (and VCDEasy still notes that mpeg padding will have to be performed on the new file.) I'm guessing that my problem comes from this padding, but I'm not sure...

I have successfully burned these files to VCD using Nero (Nero had to re-encode the video on all of them), and the audio problems went away, but since Nero's video re-encoding sucks (at least from my experience watching the re-encoded clips), I'd like to find a way to burn with VCDEasy.

Thanks very much for any help. My equipment is listed in my profile.

dunno if this will work but might be worth a try.

Use TmpGenc to de-multiplex the audio and video.
Use TmpGenc with toolame as audio encoder to re-encode the audio only.
re-multiplex and burn.


Good Luck
