23.976 fps AVI file, can't convert to mpg without synch prob

[pipeme]

Hi

I got a couple of movies, that when I look at their info in VDub I get the following info:

Frame Size = 512x272 23.976fps
Samp Rate = 48000Hz
Chans = 2 Chans
Compression = MPEG Layer 3 (professional)

Now I have tried ALL ways of converting these avis to try and get them into DVD format, but everything I try always ends up the same, the film seems to freeze in spots and the audio is out of synch.

note: Vdub tells me that the file has improper VBR Audio encoding AND AVI2VCD tells me this in the log file after I tried using it:
***WARNING*** Codec reported invalid TimePerFrame = 0!
Frames per second and Length in frames will be invalid!
ERROR: VFW Audio is compressed!
ERROR: VFW unsupported audio sample size!
Could not open file with Video-For-Windows API!

Now I have been told that it could be due to the 23fps.

How do I fix this? Is there any way?

Thanks for your help




-----------------------------------ANother thing
if this may help-In TmpENC when I try to just put the source avi in (using wizard) it automatically fills in the audio source with the avi also, and then the file size tells me that it will be like 8GB! Way over a DVD, and I can't bring it down to fit on a DVD at all. Why is this?

TMPGEnc does not like VBR audio streams hence when you encode it will go out of sync. You need to save the audio stream as an uncompressed wav file in vdub abd then use this wav file as your audio source in tmpgenc. In vdub select full processing mode and no compression for the audio, then save the wav file.

ill get flamed for this but use the kdvd template from http://www.kvcd.net/KDVD-720x480-Full-D1-_NTSC_.mcf
put this into tmpge (not the wizzard)(load the film first)
and go this will reduce ur file size but keep v good quality

That will not help with the problem of audio sync.

pipme, I just noticed that you are also having problems with the video freezing. Have you scanned the video for bad frames. Get hold of a version of vdub called vdub mp3-freeze, and scan for bad frames and remove them. There is a guide on here somewhere on how to do this, do a search.
