It seems that whenever I burn SVCDs, they never really work. The picture and audio are extremely jittery with periodic pauses every second. My computer also tends to have problems loading them (yes with DVD decoding software installed).

I've re-encoded my SVCDs to VCDs and they've been working flawlessly in both my computer and DVD player.

I've been experimenting with different ways to do this. I've been looking at the SVCD to VCD guide posted on this site which mentions using VCDEasy. I follow the instructions to where you go into tools -> mpeg tools and load the .mpg from the mpeg2 directory into the DAT section and have a save folder setup. The problem is, when I attempt to convert the MPG, this error arises:

unknown chunk id [] encountered (The file is not a MPEG file with RIFF header [.dat file]

Any ideas? I've had success using DVD2AVI w/ TMPGENC, was just playing with alternative methods of doing this and hoping there was something faster, hehe.

If you're computer has a hard time handling svcds that could mean that your computer is too slow.

Try this other guide for you're conversion

This one doesnt require VCDeasy.

I doubt that. I upgrade quite regularly. I also have 6 computers around that I test it on. I guess it could be something going on during the burning process.

My slowest computer is a Pentium 4 1.8c w/ 512 MB RAM with the fastest system at my house running an Athlon 64 3200+ and 1 GB DDR400.

I've tried it on quite a few computers with the same result, slow CD loading. When it actually does finish getting read, playing it is extremely slow. Both the picture and sound are extremely choppy.

When extracting the SVCD files from the images and playing directly from my hard drive, the movie plays perfectly. Also, when I re-encode the SVCD into VCD format, then burn it, the CDs play great.

Leaving it as an SVCD and burning onto CD is what gives me the problems. I've burned as slow as 2x and as high as 12x for SVCD with the same result. So, I've resorted to re-encoding them to VCDs.

Any insight into what's going on?

I honestly dunno why it's happening. I remember that I used to burn SVCDs just fine a few years ago on an old computer, then all of a sudden I started having the problems with both them and clone CD images for other software. Seems to have followed me around from computer to computer and upgrade to upgrade.

I have a Lite-On 52x32x52x CD-RW and burn using Nero 6.3 nowadays if that makes a difference.
