strange (s)vcd problem

[Ryan]

Hello,

I am having some problems burning off my (s)vcd's lately. Just a bit of info. I am burning at 16x but the problem is still there at burn speeds as low as 8x. This doesn't seem to happen all the time. Just latley, unfortuanatly at the moment I haven't been able to test to see if the problem is present on a differnt brand of cd-r yet, will be buying some more cd's Wednesday.

Here's the problem I am having.

I am burning off these (s)vcd's. Some of the cd's have blocks, freezes, and high squeaks in them. I am playing them on a pioneer 250, dv-333 and a apex 500.

Now if I put these same cd's in my computer they play without a flaw.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ryan

What bitrate are you using to encode? For the SVCD to be compliant the total max bitrate (audio + video) cannot exceed 2778kbits. If you go over this than you risk getting pauses and such just like what you are experiencing.

Other than that, it probably is the cdr/w media.

Hello,


I know the file is svcd compliant. As is i can reburn to another disk and it works fine, it happens to any file svcd or vcd, etc.

but just for you info i have my bitrate set to 2.2mgs per second.


I am thinking it may have been bad disks, testing that theory out now, bought more disks and a different brand.

the other thing is i recently installed turbo tax 2002 with installed that nasty little spyware c-dilla or something like that. That interfere's with your cd recordings if it thinks the burning is violating copyprotection. It puts something like cdda***.exe in your task manager that can't be ended from that menu. Although getting rid of it is not too hard and even a nifty way of not getting it again. Just do a search for it on yahoo or google.

thanks
