Am I expecting to much from TMPGEnc?

[1000watts]

I've posted a few questions over the past couple of days and gotton some good suggestions. But I still haven't really fixed my problem.
I have a few DIVX / AC3 videos that I want to burn to VCD so I'm try to use TMGEnc and other utilities to covert these files to MPEG.

In the end, I do get an MPEG file to burn, but I think the final quality stinks. The source file is clean with no errors in audio or video. When I run the source on my PC, the sound skips I'll get blocks when the screen motion picks up. Overall I think the quality stinks.

Is there a better tool to use for converting the DIVX -> MPEG?

I've read through all of the walkthroughs on TMPGEnc, I'm watching my bit rate to encode in the correct NTSC format.

Does anybody get a clean conversion using TMPGEnc or should I expect to see these glitches when converting? Does anybody know something that will convert the files better than TMPGEnc? I'm just wondering if I'm expecting to much from TMPGEnc.

Please let me know what you would work best for this conversion.
Thanks,

Is this a TMPenc problem or Divx decoder problem ?
TMPGenc defintely can encode VCD ( with VCD's spec limitation ).

First off there is no reason for your audio to "Skip" and you should start with that one issue since it should never happen. From there you can look into new ways of improving the video quality. VCD has it's limitations in the end, but skipping audio is not one of them.
