    Hi guys,

    Wondering if anyone could help solve my problem...I have created a svcd (burned with nero 6 with all plugins) and when i play the svcd on my pc the lip sync is perfect however when I play it on my toshiba dvd player (says it can play vcd/svcd) the lip sync if off by around.5-1 second but its really noticable!

    Is there any solution to this? Btw i burnt cd at 8x and 52x and there was no differance between the 2.

    Many thanks.

    If the Bit rate is A bit to high for your DVD Player to handle it will seem like the audio and Video are out of Sync ,Because your DVD Player can decode the Audio faster than it can decode the video so if the Bitrate is a Little too high in the Video there will be a slight delay between the audio and video....

    The only real solution is to use a Mpeg encoder that has Better Bitrate controll, If you are useing the Encoder in Nero then that is your Problem as the Encoder in Nero is well known as being the worst encoder ever created ,Tmpgenc also has Bad Bitrate controll but it does have good Quality....

    Try encodeing your Files to Mpeg2/SVCD useing a Mpeg encoder Like the "MainConcept Encoder" which produces very good Quality and also has very good Bitrate controll compared to other encoders..Also try useing a CBR encodeing method as opposed to a VBR encodeing method.....

    Good Luck

    Minion what bitrate would you recommend???

    I have had alook in dvd player manual and it says it can play mpeg1/mpeg 2 at 48Khz/16bit

    and mpeg 1 video cd @ 44.1/16bit

    It isn"t really the Bitrate you use, it"s that the encoder Ignores the Bitrate that you set and uses a Higher Bitrate.....
    SVCD Has a Max Bitrate of 2500kbs and VCD has a Max Bitrate of 1150kbs....

    It's probably the player. You should take your discs that work fine in the PC to a friends house that you know has no issues with his/her player and test it before assuming that it's bitrate or whatever else.

    My sister is using some piece of junk from Radio Shack, CH Home 300 or something... anyway, it's getting progressively worse being out of sync playback. Discs play fine on any other player. I read on another site about that particular model and it seems others were having the exact same problems. I'm guessing the first poster was correct in your case too.
