HELP:- Strange problem with VCDEasy menus...

[Comfy]

hi all!

I have a SVCD file that burns to disc with Nero and plays perfect in my standalone DVD player.

But, when I make a menu using VCDEasy and burn it, the sound during playback is out of sync.

I have also created a .bin file and let Nero burn it... but, same problem... so it appears to be VCDeasy that is messing things up somewhere and it seems to be whilst making the menus.

Segments work fine though, so what is wrong with the menus?

Thanks so so much for any help!

I too have this problem...

I created my mpgs in Vegas Video v3.0 and it SEEMS to play fine in Windows media player, yet on my created VCD in my DVD machine it seems to be about 5 to 10 frames out of sync with the audio...

most annoying...

Yeah Stew,
but this is slightly different to your problems as SVCDs play fine, it is only when a menu is applied to them that they go out of sync.

Ahhh...

So what might it be then?!

OK, I appear to have solved this one for SVCD's. It was driving me nuts

Here's what you have to do:

1. Create a wav file that is 1 second in length (I used Soundforge)
2. Open TMPGEnc and load the SVCD template.
3. Load the menu.mpg that you are using for the menu
4. Load the 1 second wav file
5. Create a SVCD mpeg file with TMPGEnc.
6. Use this mpeg file instead of the menu.mpg you were using as your new-menu.mpg.

I have tested this for PAL and NTSC. On WinDVD and my standalone Apex DVD player. Sound and video is now in sync for all.

Don't ask me why it works, but it does
