lips sync problem

[Aero8991]

I just made my first VCD last night, and as i was watching it, peoples lips were still moving when they were done talking

I used TMPEGne to convert my avi files to mgp, than used nero to convert to vcds...

The AVI file looks perfect on my computer, lips sync up perfectly, just when its on the dvd player its all messed up...

I burned at 8x maybe that was to fast, if I try 2x maybe that will fix it??

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP... Oh yeah and my dvd player for the tv supports VCD's just in case you were wondering......

Did you "Load" a VCD template in TMPGEnc ?

You may need to save out the audio then use that with TMPGEnc

Vdub, Load AVI

Audio > full processing mode
Audio > Conversion > 44.1 Khz
SAVE AVI

Now use that with your original AVI in TMPGEnc

thanks i just used VD and saved the wav file, and now im using TMPGEnc to make the avi into mpg, i will post a reply to tell how things went...

can you tell me the specs on the divx video? (audio length and video length). Depending on certain things, you might want to try using nero (yes, nero) to convert the divx file to vcd. Have you tried the guides on this site and divx-digest.com?

i did use nero already,
but heres the specs, ( FOR the AVI)
i have 2 half, CD1 and CD2 both are around 600 mb
29 fps
540 by 272 each
around 1 hour and 15 min each and anything else u want me to look up i will

For the mpeg
there around 700 and 800 mb
29 fps 44100hz

hmm im just checking the files now 811 mb isnt that...HUGE how will that fit on a 700 MB disk??>?

Anyone?????

[KingJohn]

Nero is the last thing I would recommend anyone uses to convert an AVI to mpeg 1. It might work sometimes, but get anything with a stutter and it makes costars

Welcome to the strange world of Divx and VCD's. I downloaded Goldmember, plays fine on computer, Panasonic DVD player, Sampo DVD Player but out of sync on Daewoo 5800 DVD player, go figure, oh yes Divx plays fine also on Sega Dreamcast also. burned VCD's before this one, Staurt Little 2, K-19 and Road to perdiction worked fine burned 2 since master of disguise and Triple x both those worked great also, so I just played the Goldmember Divx on the dreamcast and recorded on DVD-R with my Panasonic DMR-E20.

i used nero to convet my mpeg-1 to vcd

[Aero8991]

which is alright?

or should i use something different???

[macleod]

another thing (when you mentioned plays fine on the computer), did you scan the divx file with divfix or vdub to see if there were any bad frames, etc.

Have you used all of the guides on this site to correct audio problems?

Did the nero solution work for you?

Nero was used to "Author" your mpeg 1, using the word convert sounds like you used it to convert from AVI to .mpeg ?

Nero should not be used for converting AVI's at all, it will handle them, but most downloaded AVI's have problems that Nero cannot deal with.

You risk scrapping a disk by using Nero, when using other programs like TMPGEnc it will show up the problem, long before you try to put it on a CD

[Aero8991]

Sorry to confuse you, but i was using nero to "Author" my mpeg-1's

[Aero8991]

Thanks Macleod there ended up being a problem with the .avi and a problem with the mpeg-1

So i tried a different movie..AND

It works...It plays fine and the lip sync matches up perfectly!!

Thanks for all your help guys...and the Quick Replys...

Thanks again

A lot of people are jumping straight to TMPGEnc for the conversion, and are not check the original AVI for junk frames. It only takes a few minuets to scan for junk frames with Vdub, and only a few minuets to save a new file out if it finds any

Vdub
Video > Scan Video stream for errors

Video > Direct stream copy
Audio > Direct stream copy
SAVE AVI

This will save out another copy without the bad frames, if it fails on the scan, you need to use ""vdub-mp3-freeze.exe" which is more reliable, and makes a log of them at c:\badframes.log then you can delete them at the highest blocks first.
