sound problem avi->mpg encoding with TMPGenc

Hi.

I've used tmpgenc to encode an avi (divx) to mpg in VCD format.
Using high settings, picture is amazingly sharp, and sound is very good in the mpg as well.
Problem starts once I burn the VCD with Nero. it says the file is not VCD compliant. I bypass the warning, then it burns all right but the resulting VCD has completely fcuked up sound!

How can I fix that?

Cheerc,

Benny

 

please HELP.... I haven't seen any solution to this problem before. Weird that Nero doesn't recognises the format...

 

yes, the only step I haven't followed is to encode using a separate wav file for the sound together with the avi for the video.
I'll try that.
In any case, what I don't understand is why the resulting mpg is perfect, but not recognised as VCD format. That's really what bothers me.

 

It didn't work. Nero still doesn't recognize it as a compliant VCD format.

I'm using a template for high quality encoding, which should work: when I play it back on my PC it works perfect.

Here are my template settings:

All the standard specs I can think of (bitrate, format,..etc.) seem ok. Ony ones I can think of: the sound 'error check' (CalcCRC) which is checked, and in the video settings the 'field order' which is set to "Bottom Field First (Field B)"

HELP.................!
