Hello everybody,
I have a strange problem which I thought I'd bring to your attention. Hopefully I can get some sort of explanation why this is happening as a quick search of these forums hasn't turned up a directly applicable answer.
I downloaded a NTSC 23.976 fps DivX AVI and converted it using VirtuaDub to get a WAV file and TMPG to compress the video and audio into a compliant NTSC SVCD. I then used VCDEasy to add a title screen, chapters, etc. and create a bin file which I burned at 4x. The playback on my standalone Pioneer DV-47A was jerky and the sound was out of synch. Needless to say, I was devastated! I tried again using TSCV instead, but got the same result. I then encoded to VCD and tried both programs again, same jerky results. Finally, I tried burning my SVCD files with Nero (no chapters, no title screens, no nothing) and the thing played like a charm!
My question to you guys is - how can this be? What does VCDEasy and TSCV do to my MPEG when it authors the SVCD (I know they both use VCDXbuild so it's probably the same thing). Before you ask, both programs were set to NTSC so that isn't the problem. Stranger yet, a DVD to PAL backup encoded with TPMG arranged using VCDEasy worked perfectly.
I'm totally baffled.
Thanks for the help.
