TMPGEnc- encoding MPEG, sound problems

[Erwin]

Well, I finally gave in and started using TMPGEnc because I am soooooo tired of trying to find that "magical" DVD player that will play all my noncompliant VCDs. I thought I would give this program a shot. Well, here is what I was wondering. I captured a movie (74min) in ULEAD with 1150Kbps(video) 44100Mhz/224Kbps(audio) with high performance. The MPEG file played fine. I encoded with VCD standard using CBR and it played fine. I burned with NERO and it looked great, but the sound (how do I describe this, "it jumps?", it doesn't go out but it is noticeable). I burned the CDR using Philips (8x4x32) at 4x speed.
Today, I burned one track from this movie (a 5 minute track) at 4x Speed. This time I turned the standard CD compliance off and there was no problems. So, I don't know what caused the previous problem: Was it that I tried to cram a 74min movie on one 80min CD? Was the second copy good just because it was so small there was no chance for it to screw up? or was it that the compliance being turned off solved the problem? All replies are much appreciated. Thank You

Now I know why. I used multiplex today and I thought It was a left over file that was encoded.
So all you have to do is multiplex if your file is already almost compliant, in order to make NERO recognize it as a compliant VCD file?

I think I have finally figured out what to do with all my noncompliant files using TMPGEnc.
I tried to encode them, they didn't work out.
I tried to De-multiplex than multiplex and the audio was out of sync.
I tried to Simple Multiplex only with "VCD" selected and the file displays 28 seconds more than the original file showed.
Finally, I simply used multiplex, but this time I selected "VCD (noncompliant)" and the audio/video was fine. Plus, eventhough I selected "VCD (noncompliant)", NERO sees it as being a "compliant VCD file". Also, the correct amount of time for this file was displayed.

I hope this fixes the problem.
