Fixing bad VCD frames?

[GunslingerKid]

Hello all! One of my VCDs is jerky choppy and skips garbled during one scene. Its not bad enough to stop playback, but its very annoying. I used VCDEasy to rip it to an MPEG file, and scanned it with VirtualDub, but for some reason it didn't detect any bad frames, so the scan/fix stream for error didn't help.

Anyone have any other good ideas? I just want to smooth the playback, right now the frames jerk every 2-3 seconds or so. The scene lasts for about 6-8 minutes. Thanks!

Hmm... nobody have any ideas? It's a CD-R, the pixelation is always on the same area, and re-burning it is not an option (as the original is also like this). Just wondering if anyone has ideas to smooth it out..hmm...

Try fixing the mpeg with VCDgear.

Well my DVD player doesn't play CD-Rs so I wouldn't know, and on my PC I tried lots of different players and its the same. Pretty sure its just like that. About the jerkiness, well, it plays a while then freezes for half a second, pixelates, then returns to normal, whole thing maybe takes 1.5 to 2 seconds, not unbearable but annoying.

About the VCDGear MPEG fix, I tried that (I wrote it wrong in the first post), it found like 150 errors but I'm not sure if it fixed them?? Result is the same. I just tick Fix MPEG Errors. Second time I scan the dat file (which I used VCDGear to rip)..... no more MPEG errors..... but still the same......
