DIVX lip sync issue

[TasDavo2]

Guys, trying to comvert a DIVX to VCD, suffering huge lip sync issues. The original is perfect, but everything I've tried does not work. Tried converting using TMPGE but get error converting audio straight away, reconverted AVI to AVI (virtual dub)solved problem but when converted lip sync out again, used BBMPG no good, frustrated now, any help greatly apprecuated. Cheers Dave
ps Orig source is: Video 576*240, 24bits 23.976 fps
Audio MPEG layer 3 157Kbits 48KHz stereo

Tried all templates in TMPGE, this is the first DIVX I've encounted this problem with?

I get this same problem when encoding a DIVX file that's 23.9fps and I use the NTSC FILM template. When I use the standard VCD NTSC template it works fine. Note that I only get this problem when watching the VCD on my DVD player, and not on my computer. Have you tried your VCD on both your DVD and Computer?

I have no idea what causes this problem, or why using the supposedly WRONG template fixes it. I actually just created a seperate post about this before I saw yours.

I was actually getting this when I encoded ANY 23.9fps DIVX file, not just one or two like it sounds is your case.

Have you tried extracting the audio from the DIVX file using VurtualDub and then loading in seperate .avi and .wav files in TMPGEnc? I'm told this sometimes helps audio/video sync problems, so I always do it that way.
If you need to know exactly how to do this look at the first part of this guide: http://www.vcdhelp.com/divxtovcd.htm
