VBR Divx to VCD problems.

[sjorrel]

Hi,

I have several DivX files that I wish to convert to VCDs.

I can play them all fine on my PC.

A couple of them ok, i.e. i can load up TMPGenc, use a VCD template and set it off converting.

However, when i try to do this with others i receive the error:

"An error occured when audio was decoded."

This error does not occur when i use no template, so obviously it is something in the template that i have a problem with. All the VCD/SVCD templates produce this problem.

I have tried using virtual dub with these divx files, but when i attempt to load them i recive a message saying they have "improper VBR hear encoding" that will be replaced with CBR encoding that will 'skew' the audio (it goes out of sync).

Are the alternative templates I can use for tempegc to get it to work with VBR divx files?


and another note...if i can split a divx file accross two cds using VCD standard, will i be able to fit the same file using SVCD?

Thanks in advance.

VCDs support only a specific audio rate(e.g 128kbs) and your
VBRDivx is (I assume) from 96kbs to 160kbs which isn't recognised as vcd standard.
Try encoding your audio in 128kbps and try again.
This might fix your problem.
