Help!!! To those who encode anime from avi to dvd...

[kidkay]

What ways do you encode the animes from avi to (s)vcd to dvd so that the audio doesn't go out of sync when you fast forward and rewind on a standalone dvd player? Here are the ways I've tried:

1. Encode the audio and video from the original avi using tmpgenc guides.
(using All-In-One guide, VCD or SVCD to DVDR/W with SVCD2DVDMPG+ by Baldrick and Tips + Tricks for TMPGEnc SVCD creation by Elmark)

2. Encode the AVI's audio only to mp2, then encode the video with the source being the AVI, and the audio source being the mp2.


Any other programs or methods used are welcome. I know this isn't a problem with my dvd player. My machine plays dvd, dvd rips into svcd, dvd rips into vcd fine. I only have problems with converting animes from avi to (s)vcd. The sound goes off when you fast forward or rewind. I have done numerous searches on this problem and have not found a solution. Can someone please help me?


The anime is Vision of Ecaflowne.

I had a similar problem once. The source AVI file was damaged and when the DVD player hit that spot in the encoded mpg, it would loose sync between the video and the audio. I ran the avi through a fixer and it cut out the bad section. After that, I did not have the problem.

If that isn't your problem,

Have you tried both PCM audio and mp2 audio? Maybe your player has a problem with mpeg audio.

Try opening the avi in VirtualDub and see if it gives you an error message about the audio. You could try saving the audio to a wav file in Virtualdub and then using that as the audio source in TMPGEnc.

I don't understand from your question if you are encoding for use as an SVCD or a DVD. I haven't made many SVCDs so I couldn't tell you if it is an SVCD specific problem.

Thank you for replying to my post. Basically, i'm trying to convert 10 avi episodes(anme) to svcds. Then put those svcds into a dvd disc using svcd2mpg+. As i previously posted, i only have a problem with the playback when i rewind or fast forward. The dvd can play through without any problems(without me pressing rewind or fast forward) in my standalone dvd player. I'm goin to try ur virtual dub method. I hope ur solution works. I'll let you know. Thanks again.

In VirtualDub, make sure you save the avi with audio compression removed!

Am I missing something? Why would it matter if the source is anime, cartoon or live action? The process for capturing, encoding, authoring and burning should be the same should it not?

I only say this because through all the captures I have done, and I have done numerous anime and live action, there is no discernable difference to my process.

Tried Frameserving from VDub ?

Okay, I still havent tried the vdub (uncompressed), yet. But, i just want to say thanks again for ur input. Hardcoreruss, what exactly is does frame serving do for the avi? I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. T.Y.
