Mpeg burns to VCD in slow motion

[jim272]

I'm new to burning video cds. The first VCD I burned was composed of 5 separate mpegs. 4 of the 5 files came out great, but 1 of the 5 plays slightly slow on my DVD players. Its just a little slower than it should be but defintely noticible and annoying. Both players are Sony, and the strange things is the VCD plays at the right speed on my computer but not on my two standalone DVD players.

I'm about ready to give up, but maybe this signals a problem I don't know about. I also tried burning another VCD and the problem was still there.

I think your mpgs are not standars (in vcd format). if you downloaded them from the web, maybe one of the files is at higher bitrate, and its to hard for your dvd player to run it. i think that can be a reason of the slow playing.

try to reencode it with Nero. make it standar complaint. check the resolutions (352 x 240 for NTSC VCDs), bitrate, frm/sec

I would agree except one thing. Don't use Nero to re-encode, use TmpGenc. Nero is a very poor encoder and the quality of its output is very poor.
