VCD -> DVD Audio Sync Problem

[azukre]

I'm trying to merge all the VCDs to DVD to save space.

Basically I copy the .dat file staright to my hard drive, then I use TMPGEnc's MPEG tools to "Merge" all the files together. The VCD format is NTSC at 29.97fps with 44000KHz (I know I have to covert to 48k khz in order to be DVD compatible).

However, I'm have Audio not synchronize problem when I use TMPGEnc's MPEG tools to merge. Video's Time is exact match as Audio!

Is there a better way to do this? or am I missing some of the procedure?

Thank you for your help!

The guide is totally off.

My main problem is that after using TMPGEnc's MPEG tools to merg all .dat from the VCD. Usually the very 1st couple .dat files is out of audio sync.

Sorry - I'll read more closely the next time!

I assume that the audio is in sync to begin with, before TMPGEnc touches it. Before trying other packages, you may have to take the .dat to .mpg using VCDGear - this won't take long.

You could try using FileMerger, and see if that does it any better. Apparently, it just uses a simple copy command and should preserve sync. Failing that, I spotted this package that may help:

I haven't ever done this before, so I don't know much I'm afraid. With any luck one of these tools will get the job done.

Best of luck,
