Having problem with sound on my VCD

[dante21]

I use a VCD to put my home movies on. I do not have a DVD player to play them so i go over to my mother-in-laws house to watch them there. Well I watched my first one there and the sound is not synching with the picture. It looks like it is about a 3-5 second delay. I watched the movie on my computer before I burned it and it looked fine. I use Movie Maker2 to do all of my editing and stuff. I have a Sony Digital8Handycam and I am capturing with USB (don't have firewire yet). I am using Nero Express to do the encoding and burning (just select the option that said VCD). If you know what the problem is or have any tips I would appreciate it a ton! I am new to this so I could use all the help I can get. Also if you know of any freeware or shareware that I can use to help in my movie making I would appreciate that also. Thank you.

that's your first problem. you should other programs to encode your files.

Use TMPGEnc, it's free for VCD. Check the how-to in the Convert section.

Ok Thank you! And after I encode it I can just use Nero to burn it. Will it just be another file like original before I encoded it. Hey thanks again I may be able to get itright this time.

Hey thanks guys I was able to go over to my Mom-in-law's and I played the VCD it worked great the only thing was that when I put it on a CD with Nero (not Nero Express) I didn't have menus so I was wondering if I could encode with TMPGEnc and then burn it using Nero Express so that way I could make menus for my movies. Any suggestions?

Use TMPGEnc to encode. Use VCDEasy to author, add menus and stuff. Create the VCDimage with VCDEasy. Burn with VCDEasy. If your burner isn't supported by VCDEasy, use Nero to burn the cue/bin that VCDEasy creates.

I am using Nero Express to make the menus I was just worried that if I used Nero Express that it would mess with the encoding that I did with TMPGEnc. Thank you though!
