audio/video synch ok on win media player- but out of synch on dvd player! help!

[msc125]

i'm using virtualdub to cut divx movies in half so that each part fits on one cd. i then synch the audio/video, save the file and use nero 5.5.9.2 to burn onto cd.
here's the problem: when i play the vcd on my dvd player (sony dav-s800) the audio/video is out of synch!! when i play the vcd on the pc the synch is ok,

what's goin on?!?!?!

Change the audio frequency from 48,000Hz to 44,100Hz...

[msc125]

the audio was already at 44.1 kHz, so i changed it to 48 kHz, but that didn't make any difference, any more ideas?

just wondering have you burnt any dvds to play on your 800?

if so what kinda media did you use?

sorry, haven't burned any dvds, just been trying to transfer divx to vcd correctly

[setarip]

I'd suggest, instead of going from .AVI to converting AND burning with NERO, that you use TMPGEnc to convert the.AVI to conforming VideoCD format and then use NERO ONLY to burn as a VideoCD...

(Audio should always be 44,100Hz for conforming VCD)

thanks for your help setarip, but......
i tried using TMPGEnc for encoding then NERO for burning, and the synch seemed ok, but as the film progressed the audio became more and more out of synch, until it was totally unwatchable.
i played the file from the hard disk on win media player, and the same thing happened.
i've heard that it's possible to separate the audio and video components of a movie file, then intergrate them again at the encoding or burning stage, will this help? if so, how do i do it?

Is the stream bitrate correc? Audio 224kbit/s, 44kHz Stereo, and video 1150kbit/s CBR, Resolution, and framerate. Perhaps the problem is in framerate - for Pal it must be 25fps, for NTSC 29.97. If You have 23,97fps, then Sony DVD player can't play it correctly.

I know I had a sinc problem with VCD's and the problem wasn't the encoding and conversions and all that jazz (and I spent countless days trying to fix it) but the problem was that I was fastforwarding my VCD to get past the Title page and warning and all that stuff... and when you fast forward, the audio and video are in seperate folders and seperate files, therefore, you unsync them a lilttle bit, but when I just watch the VCD from start to finish wihtout fastforwarding, it works perfectly. Might work for you, it did for me, but that means I can't fastforward, therefore, I put chapters in and i guess it fixed the problem.

And the funny thing was, it worked fine on the computer.

Hope this helps

i always forward past the titles aswell, but haven't got a chance to try without fast forwarding tonight, will try that asap.

just out of interest, how do you split vcd into chapters??

[msc125]

still doesn't work, even without fast forwarding!! how do i put chapters in a vcd?
