Hi all,

I've read through alot of others posts but could quite find the answer I needed.

I've made alot of VCDs from DVDs. Then I found an old camera card in my collection. The drivers were made for Win95 (only it said), but after some searching I got it to work in my W2k system. With a VCR hooked up to a Video input on the card, and the audio from the VCR patched into Line in, I've been making VCDs from my VHS tapes and TV.

I got the dropping frames prob completly solved, and adjust audio sync while I run the capture through TMPG (also get rid of commercials,clip a fuzzy edge,compress to fit on one VCD, and maybe clean up a little noise.

I just got my second box (100) of DVD cases, can make a nice menu (if needed). So I guess I consider myself an 'advanced beginner' at this stuff.

But here's my prob........

More and more often, I run a capture through all my proccess, and when I put the VCD into my stand alone DVD player "The audio drops', all the audio is there and mostly sync'd, but it just pauses every sec or so. The VCD will play fine in both of my PC players, with play in my PC's with CD players(both with PowerDVD), and will play in some (none of mine) stand alone DVD players.

Most of the time this happens with a capture from 'live TV', and no matter how I have tried to reproccess the capture, when I watch the resulting VCD on TV ---sound drops---.

I leaning towards something to do with frame rate (29.97 vs 30) and when and when to use each.

Any insight from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks JC
