Poor VCD playback from VHS Capture

[garryward]

Hi Chaps I captured a 30mins from PAl VHS at 640 by 480 the results are ok I dropped no frames at all I used the resize fillter in Virtual Dub and 2d clearner and then frame served it to cce 2.5 and then burned it with Nero to disk.
the VCD is a true VCD 1150K for video and 224 k for audi0
But I keep getting jittering and the audio goes out of Synch when I paly it on My DVD player! ;(

Has anyone any Idea how to stop this

Double-check your screen resolution. I got this problem when I tried to make a 320x240 VCD. I resized it to 352x240 and everything was fixed.

Hi dphirschler Ive checked my frame size and its ok its 352 by 288.

An incompatible media brand could explain the jittering of the movie but would not explain the audio going out of sync.

I am suprised that you have acheived this problem sticking to VCD specs.. it is normally a sign of a DVD player throughing a wobbly at the amount of X in an XVCD.

Test the playback of the VCD disk on your computer. If all is well, I would double double check the settings in CCE and check that you haven't accidently selected something (e.g. VBR rather than CBR) that you shouldn't have done.

If all else fails, convert with TMPGEnc instead and see if you get better results.

I am assuming TMPGenc will not let you create a NTSC VCD at that resolution (as well as a PAL VCD at 352x240). Oh, I just noticed you used CCE. Well double check that.

Hmmm... Did you use an external audio encoder? Perhaps you inadvertantly created mp3 audio instead of mp2. I am grasping straws here...
