playback of VCD on my DVD player problems

[grind_king]

well my problem is this: when i play the VCD that i just burned with nero, the result in my DVD player is just bad. frames skip ahead too fast, leaving the audio behind, playing, while the video is actually too far ahead. what i did was use DVD2AVI to make the d2v file out of the vob files i got using smart ripper. i tried the following settings with DVD2AVI:

1. just a regular 29 fps with regular 48KHz audio
2. forced film 23.976 fps with 48 khz audio
3. forced film 23.976 with 44.1 khz audio
4. just a regular 29 fps with 44.1 khz

then i tried encoding with TMPGENC using these template settings:
1. NTSC film, 23.976 fps
2. NTSC, with 29 fps

then i tried fiddling with the settings a little, i tried different audio settings, different aspect ratios, and i still get the same result.. the video skips ahead too fast for the audio.

help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

And what DVD player do you own?

[grind_king]

it's an RCA RC5240P if it helps at all

Yes, it does. I think you may want to check your player model in the database at left. Although it is a relatively good player, your fellow owners seem to have problems with it from time to time.

yes, as it turns out, it's the DVD player that was causing the sync problems. i guess i'm one of the few RCA owners that has major problems playing VCDs. I tried using my uncle's DVD player to play the VCD, and as it turns out, it played perfectly.

thanks for the help
cheers

Don't feel bad cuz I have a rca dvd player too and it doesn't play some of the vcd's that I create. But it will play perfectly fine on my APEX 1500's, LENOXX 2003 & INITIAL 9510.
