COnverting files to VCD

[Marcella-FL]

OK ... so I have been d/l-ing from here now and when I try to burn them to disk I get 2 problems ...
1) If I burn them as a data disk (I have a DVD player that plays divx) I get video but no audio.
2) If I convert to VCD then the audio is not synched with the video.

HELP!!! It never used to hapen with the files I d/l-ed elsewhere so I do not think it is my technique.

ANy ideas ...

best way would be to convert the audio alone - it's done in wma format on the caps I do and not all divx players play that, so ifyou do a convert to mp3 it will work.

There's a program called Super, that you can get here: http://www.erightsoft.net/S6Kg1.html that will do it.

I would save the files as mp3s originally if I could, but my setup won't allow it.

If you're making VCD's, you might also want to try a programm called TMpegEnc (available from http://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Windows/Edskes/t/tmpgenc2524.exe). I haven't used it for a while, but it basically will convert the video appropriately and (as Faceless said) lets you re-sync the audio. The process of stripping the audio then re-attaching it is called de-multiplexing and multiplexing, I think.

If I have a video file with audio sync issues (where the video appears fine) I just use VirtualDub. (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9649) Save the audio to a .wav file, then re-encode it without changing the video. Should take about 5 minutes, depending on how fast your computer is and how long the video clip is.

If the original audio is encoded as VBR (Variable Bit Rate) it can cause audio sync issues. So I just encode it as CBR (Constant Bit Rate).
