Hi guys, I've just created my first SVCD using the DVD to VCD with SmartRipper, DVD2AVI and TMPGEnc guide. Everything went fine and the quality is very good. The only problem is that the sound is slightly out of sync with the video when i play it in my DVD player (Toshiba SD-220EB) if I play the mpg files in PowerDVD they are fine. Is this just my DVD player or could I encode it differently to get it to work Thanks in advance
Use your creatint SVCD, you should be using this guide!!!! http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/dvd2svcd_with_tmpgenc.cfm
Sorry, wrote down the wrong guide, that is the one I used (http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/dvd2svcd_with_tmpgenc.cfm) any ideas?
perhaps you should use DVD2SVCD, guide found here: http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/dvd2svcd_guide.cfm the reason for this, it uses bbMpeg, which defaults to 2 seconds offset, which normally corrects out of sync problems on stand alone players.
An out of sync problem is also usually the product of a vbr underflow/overflow in audio/video. You can avoid these by ending all programs except the progs you're using for encoding. Make sure that you definelty end file sharing apps and hardware temperature monitors!!!
hardware temperature monitors will effect your encoding? I noticed temperture settings in my bios,should I disable them?
I would have to say not, I think Dela was referring to software based temperature monitors.. the kind that hard corps CPU overclockers use to make sure they don't fry their proc's when testing a 1.4ghz processor at 1.7ghz, etc..
sorry new to this thanks vcdjunkie. I have another question, Audio synch problems relate normally to the fact that some people split files by using regular frames as their cutpoints, not keyframes. where do you adjust keyframes?
use virtual dub.. http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/cut_avi_with_virtualdub.cfm pay close attention to the part of the guide under "Select the first part", where it describes how holding down shift makes it go between keyframes. Also, note that when using edit, you see key shaped icons at the bottom when previewing, I think you know what they mean.. ;-)
