Is it the FPS or media type?

[squirt]

The only reason I'm putting this in here is because I have yet to find a suitable answer here, or anywhere for that matter, and this problem happens to me so often, I'm hoping that it's happened to other people as well, as well as a solution is there for it...
First some info... my source avi is 20 fps.
I'm using TMPGEnc (newest version )to encode it into VCD format.

When I encode, I use the NTSC format (tried both PAL and NTSCFilm, but those types came out more jerky then the NTSC, so I stuck with that). The ensuing mpegs come out flawlessly, as viewed with WMP or any other type of media player I use when viewing them... but I then burn using Nero (tried both 5.5.5.1 and 5.5.3.5) as a VCD and play it in my dvd player (RCA 5240).

As I'm watching the movie on my tv player... as it's going along... the video will speed up (as tho someone hit the fast forward button) but the audio will stay fine. But after the video speed up blurb, the audio will be out of sync of a few seconds... then it'll go back to normal again. (Until the next time the video speeds up.) Now I'm wondering if it's the media type, or the conversion of 20fps->29.97 fps that is causing this... Any help with this would be muchly appreciated.

On another note... when encoding avi to mpeg with TMPGEnc (even if I convert the audio to a WAV, or PCM for that matter) finishes converting the file, then crashes. (I do have to reboot the computer, otherwise everything will be shite slow to respond) if anyone knows a way to get around this, or if u need more info, let me know.

It's probably the change of FPS. Never let TMPGenc change the FPS for you, because it will either duplicate frames or drop them, and not adjust the audio. You could probably do this with an AVISynth script, which I think would look something like this (If your source is .avi):

#Start Script
AVISource("filename")
ChangeFPS(29.76)
#This script should work
#End Script
