svcd-time display wrong

[Glombini]

Hi! My Problem is that everytime I playback an S-VCD encoded with TMPGenc and a total bitrate lower than 2700 kbp/s, the time on my dvd player's clock (Phillips DVD 620) is running too slow, which means that my disc is 50 minutes long, but my player indicates 32 minutes as total time. Is there any way to playback my s-vcds correctly with a bitrate lower than 2700 kbp/s?

Other than the APPEARANCE of the wrong amount of time, does the SVCD playback properly and completely?

[Glombini]

Yes, there's no other problem concerning playback of s-vcds. It plays completely and in good quality.

Then ignore the clock...

Actually, the time might not be correctly displayed because of "PlayBackControl". Do you see PBC on the LCD screen of your dvd player when you play the dvd?

[Glombini]

Well, the strange thing is that when I de-activate PBC, the player doesn't show the time at all...

[gd_nimrod]

Indeed. Well some players are made like that, mostly because the (s)vcd's are recorded differently. Also, depending on your dvd player, PBC lets you support a select scene from the vcd, which normal vcd's don't allow you to do unless you have them in chapters.
