Timer Shows Incorrect Time

[stanleycup]

When I encode VCD using 2300 kb/s and then play the CD in my DVD player, the time shown on it is doubled what it should be.

When I use VCDeasy and use the chapters option to build the bin file,
all the chapter times are also doubled what they should be.

Is this because the DVD player is going by the size of the mpg file?
I know that standard VCD is 1150 KB/s

When I use DVD2SVCD on a DVD and then play it on my DVD player, the timer setting is correct.

Is there a trick when I am using VCDeasy or TSCV that can show the time correctly on my DVD player?

i had the same problem; but does it really matter?

I think it has to do with muxing. I noticed that certain titles end up having the right time index, while others don't. In fact, a few months ago I was working on some VCDs and I managed to get different mux (and indexing) results for the same video and audio combination, depending on the mux settings used.

Although most people recommend bbMPEG for muxing, lately I've been getting the best muxing results with TMPGEnc, with MPEG-1 VCD (non-standard) stream selected.
