Was wondering if I can get some help here:
I use 2 PC's to go from Divx AVI to 2 VCD's in regular MPEG-1 format. The Home PC which contains the divx is an AMDK6-2 400 Mhz, just barely within spec to watch the clip and do nothing else. The faster work PC is a PIII 1.1Ghz that I use to do the encoding. I use AVI split/Nandub to split the Divx to burn to a CDRW since my home burner cannot handle CDRW's that are 700MB, just CDR's. I decompress the audio from the Divx and use TMPGenc on the fast PC once copying the 2 AVI's to harddrive and load the NTSC Film Template since that is the source of the original, usually. I encode/burn (ala Nero) both files and they play perfectly on both PC's with decent quality. The problem arises when I bring these VCD's back home and play on my DVD player - basically audio/video sync problems where video jumps ahead of audio and then corrects itself. It is not the typical audio/video starts out good and gets worse later in the film. This is constant random video jumping always going ahead of the audio and then "fixing itself", definitely an unusual phenemenon and only when the source was Divx.
Since they play fine on any PC, one must think it is my DVD player but since the player plays everything else flawlessly (DVD, MP3, homebrewed VCD/SVCD, even MiniDVD) before I consider replacement, is there any way this is in the Encoding process?? I have received encoded VCD MPG files also and they play flawless on the DVD player as well so there could possibly be an improvement I can make in the encoding process. Any suggestions??
TIA, synchron.
