Time on Standalone player far behind

[persille]

Hi

On all SVCD's i have made - using either TMPGenc or CCE 2.5 - the time shown on my standalone player is approximately 2/3 of the actual time.
However SVCD made from a downloaded mpeg2 file shows correct time on the standalone player. This has made me suspect the mpeg2 encoders create some information in the header/trailers causing this. Are there any tools available to view/manipulate the header/trailer info?
Has anyone else had the same experience?

Have you tried remuxing your video with bbMPEG?

It is muxed with BBMpeg (DVD2SVCD).

Had a similar problem on XVCDs where the bit rate was none compliant. I think it should be 2520Kb/s for SVCD, if that helps.

Hi

That sounds reasonable. All the SVCD's I have encoded myself is VBR - in order to squeeze more on each cd.
I'll try to make a CBR 2520 to check it.

Thx a lot

SVCDs are allowed to use VBR encoding...

Do you know what you did differently with the downloaded MPEG-2?

Or, what is different about that MPEG-2?

Hi

No I don't know what specs the downloaded have, I'll try to check it out tonight.


Thx.
