I been experimenting with Nero, the sound on my VCD come out all choppy and behind, is there a better convertor and what audio settings should i have on? thanks Galvin

Use TMPGEnc to convert AVI to MPEG. It's the best and
it's free!

You can get it at http://www.tmpgenc.com

I have that but the sound is kinda distorted, I thikn I need to change my audio settings, should I put it on a lower biitrate or sumthing? I played the VCD through Windows, it was fine but when I played on PSX the sound was messed up.

The 224 kb/s should be the norm for a VCD .
I always extract the DIVX AVI audio using this method

and save as a WAV then reload the original movie along with the saved WAV and output to MPEG 1 VCD.

Should I put the audio settings down................ they are currently on
Sampling Frequency - 4100
Channel Mode - Stereo
Bitrate - 192

should I make them smaller to stop the glitches?

The most common template i use is the NTSC VCD Film ..
it uses:
44,100
and
224
and I have no problems.
Many people like Nero but personally I always get frozen up at the end of a session so try VCDEASY.
I find its quite easy and has given me many succesful burns.
