I encode my SVCD's with TMPGENC and the files are perfect when I play them on my pc.

The problem is as soon as I burn with Nero burning ROM
the sound is slow on the CD I burned.

I never have this problem with VCD's, only with SVCD's

If someone could please help with this one.

Thanks

Does the Audio Sort of Go in and Out of Sync?? Does the Video/Audio Slow down or speed up or seem to play Choppy?? if this is so then it sounds like the Bitrate used in your SVCD"s is to high for your DVD player to Handle..This is extremely common with Files encoded by Tmpgenc cuz Tmpgenc has really bad Bitrate controll so the Bitrate will go much higher than you set it and this causes the Symptoms I mentioned..The only solution is to not use Tmpgenc to encode to SVCD...

Thanks for the reply!

No the picture is not choppy.
In fact the picture quality is incredible.
Nowhere does it even jump or skip or anything the sound is just slow.

The way I make my VCD's are as follows.

Smartrip the vobs to HDD.
Use DVD2AVI and save the movie as a .d2v project file

DVD2AVI then makes d2v and wav files of your movie

Then in TMPGENC I just specify the .d2v file as my video input and for sound the .wav files for audio input.

Sit back and let the pc encode.

VCD quality is really exceptional, and reliable to the point where I dont even test the vcd's I make.

Tried the same method with SVCD and that is where my problem lies.

Making VCD's are damn fast

Ripping from DVD = 20 min
Saving DVD2AVI project file = 10 min
Encoding = length of the movie

Now if you could tell me what other encoder to use would be great. I downloaded CCE, but that little proggie just wants AVI files.

Any suggestions?

btw. my bitate on TMPGENC is always constant and never above 2500.

Well what you should do is Not use "DVD2AVI" to decode the Audio to Wav, You should set the Audio to "Demux" and it will leave you with an AC3 audio file, then Use a Audio encoder like "Headac3he" to encode the AC3 audio to "Mpeg 1 Layer 2" or "MP2" audio, then in Tmpgenc Set the "Stream Type" to "Video Only" and encode Just the "D2V" file to a M1V mpeg video file, Now all you have to do is go to "File" to "Mpeg Tools" to "Simple Multiplex" and Load in the M1V video file and the "MP2" audio file, then set the stream Type to "Video-CD" or "Video-CD Non-Standard" then click "Run" and it will Mux the audio and Video together to a Mpeg1 VCD File, And when Burning burn at the Lowest possible speed you can cuz Burning at to high of a Speed causes errors on the Disk and can cause it to go out of Sync..I would sugest burning at 4x or 8x speed Max, and DVD2AVI has been known to cause sync Problems with the audio when useing it to Decode to Wav pluss Tmpgenc"s audio encode is Not very good and Headac3he is a Very good Quality Audio encoder and it is Free as you can find it on Google if you do a Search....Cheers

PS: to use CCE you have to Frameserve useing either Virtual Dub or AVISynth, but when Frameserveing you can encode ANY Format with CCE..But if you don"t know how to Frameserve then CCE will not do you any Good But if you do know how to then you will Find that CCE is a Superior Mpeg2 encoder and up to 10 times as Fast...Cheers
