VCD Audio Video Sync Prob

[Spyder]

Hey Everyone!
I just downloaded a movie and used TMPGEnc Plus to cut the movie and convert the AVI file to MPG (So I can burn it to a VCD). Well that went all fine, but when I play the video in my GE Digital Video Disc Player and the video and sound have a sync problem. The movie will be going ok then it will get all off and the video will slow down or speed up to sync again with the sound. It gets real annoying.
Well I read the turtorial on TMPGEnc and it said to use VideoDub to extract the sound and use that WAV source for the audio in TMPGEnc and that did not work ether. Is it my DVD player or am I doing something wrong?!

Thanks for your help

P.S. the Video is NTSC Film and 23.976fps according to VideoDub.

I've had the same problem but with TMPGEnc MUX. I have a perfectly good VCD format that I can burn straight to disc. Just to experiment, I tried MUXing it in TMPGEnc to change the heading. Shouldn't make a difference right? Wrong!!! Suddenly the perfectly good VCD had audio and video that was out of sync. By the end of 5 minutes, the sound trailed the video by about 4 seconds!!!

your audio is out of sync because it is recorded with a variable bitrate. to fix this use vdub. open file then go to audio. check full processing mode, then go audio/conversion check 44100, 16bit high quality, stereo. save the new wav or save the whole avi but use video/direct stream copy.
