Help me! Getting incredibly frustrated! Please!!!

[ben.franklin]

For the last week I have been trying to convert a DivX .avi file to SVCD for playback on my DVD player. I'm new to all this by the way!!!

Have been using TMPGEnc using just about every different setting, but the final .mpeg is always out of sync. So I then tried Virtual Dub, to get a seperate .wav file.

Anyway, still having sync problems and now attempting the "Fix Audio Drift etc" way of doing it, although not very hopeful.

The frame rate of the film is 29.97fps (its actually "Chasing Amy - DVD
Rip", and the strange thing is, is that sometime when I play it back (on Realplayer) the finished .mpeg file is in sync, and then seconds later the same file is out of sync, in exactly the same spot! Also if I watch it through, the beginning is in sync, and then a few minutes on in the film its totally out of sync.

I have tried putting it on to SVCD using Nero and created a nice menu, etc, and when it played, the film was tiny, and was in the top left of the screen rather than the normal way it should be viewed!!!

Argghhh!!!! Please, please please, someone help me! Need advice desperately as my g/f is getting annoyed at how much time I'm spending on the PC trying to do this!!! I'm desperate so I thank anyone in advance!!
Thanks!!!

UPDATE:-
Gave up doing the "Fix audio etc" as it was going to create a file over 20gigs in size!!!
Also, the file is a DivX Codec 4.12 file, with a 512 x 224 screen size

I don't know if this will make much difference or not, but it's something you should do even if it doesn't necessarily help you this problem. try installing the Nemo codec pack on the tools page.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Tried installing the pack earlier, but think I have sussed it out anyway. I have tried a different DivX film, and managed to finally get the settings right so that its all in sync (apart from the original film being corrupt about half way through! lol) So, I'm getting there slowly, just need to find somewhere better for getting DivX films from!!! Kazaa is just too damn slow!!!

Thanks again
