Why is the sound out of sync with the video?

[mm4654]

Hi, On most of the vcd's i burn the sound and video are out of sync. Not just barely, but by a good 3-4 seconds. I convert avi's to mpgs with TMPGEnc and burn to vcd with nero. Is there anything I can do to make the sound and video synchronized?
Thanks,
Mike

i have had the same problem with just about every other VCD i try and make...the one thing you can try is extracting the audio with virtual dub 1st, then encode the avi/wav in TMPGEnc (they say this works, but it hasn't really for me )

can anybody shed light on this? it seems like alot of people have this problem when making VCDs...wish there was a solution

Same problem here. I did the VirtualDub route also, but have no luck. Also have tried different settings in TMPGE. Same results. On one Divx Rip I got, the audio was already out of sync. I'm still working on correcting that problem. I've read all the how too's but still no working suggestions have helped.

Can anyone shed light on the topic?

Thanks in advance,
