Newbie with VCD Audio problem

[jimwat1]

Hi all

I hope someone can help me with this :-

I created a PAL VCD compliant file from Ulead MPS 7.
This file plays ok with all media players on my PC.
I burned it to CD using the VCD project in Nero 6.
The VCD I created plays ok in Windows Media Player on my PC but when I play it on my standalone DVD player the audio sounds like it has been slowed down. The video is fine.
Is this what is known as a "sync problem". ??

An old thread from ChickenMan mentioned an alternative to Nero but the link he gave had expired.

Cany anyone help me please ?????????

Hi jimwat1, welcome to our forum!

sorry i never burned a VCD, i would suggest you to ask your question again in the thread where ChickenMan's death link is posted, so other users will find the alternative link too;

I assume your souce was PAL also and you havnt converted an NTSC to PAL.

I never ever had a problem with Nero burning VCD's and causing sync problems, I suggest the mpg file has problems in the first place. If you play the mpg before burning with WMP or WinDVD, does it play okay ?

An alternative to Nero (Nero 6 sucs big time !, use 5.5.x anyway) is VCDEasy. You can get the last free version 1.1.5.2 from http://freewareportal.de/site/programme/audio_11.htm or just about any Tucows site.

Thanks to both Duracell and ChickenMan.

I did in fact also post this question in the (S)VCD section.

I have since found that one of the settings on my standalone DVD player was the cause of the problem.
(Not sure which one cos like a rube I pulled all the wires !!!!)
