Tme counting for SVCDs is rather obscure. My DVD player goes on telling me that my movie is 39' 52" when the input movie (which I gave to Nero) was 52'30". Therefore maybe you should keep 'don't span'.
...or you choose 'Super Video CD' in Nero and input your 830 MB mpeg (you'll get a approx 838 MB .NRG if you choose 'Recorder__Image Recorder', or you will be able to directly record the movie on a 80' CD-R). You shouldn't enconter any problem.
This time I made an NRG file with Nero, burned that but still hasnt corrected the problem. The video is perfect but the sound is still early by 2 seconds. I thought saving the WAV in VirtualDub and multiplexing it in TMPGEnc was supposed to fix the sync problems. What can I do to fix this?
If the sound is delayed of a constant rate, you should open that uncompressed WAV with EAC doing Tools__Process WAV and insert 2' of silence when it's needed (at the exact point: does it happen at the beginning or, like in 3) of http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/129217 , at a certain point?
At the 1st time you managed to:
1) choose SVCD , the most difficult stuff to make
2) have a corrputed/badly ripped input AVI
My compliments....
EAC = Exact Audio Tools, the only Audio-CD which is able to defeat Cactus Data Shield and a very good WAV (De)compressor - editor.
Quote:The sound is delayed from the very beginning. It doesn't occur part way in to the movie
Therefore you should calculate 'by ear' the delay (e.5. 2.5 s), then CUT 2.5 seconds from the WAV file.
After that, make check by makinf with it a VCD with 'very fast' on TMPGEnc, first. Then use that WAV to make the SVCD (WAV --> 'audio input').
If you have already made the SVCD you can make a dummy mpeg, by keeping 'motion search quality = lowest (highest speed)' then multiplex (again TMPGenc___MPEG Tools) it to add the sound to the 'good' video file (video input = good.mpg, audio input = dummy.mpg, type: MPEG-2 Super Video-CD , output = final.mpg)
