I have a problem that occurs during the encoding/convertion process. I can do vcd's no problems what so ever. the problem occurs when doing svcd's. I capture a hour tv show breaking the segments up when a commercial starts. So when the show is finished I have about 5 or 6 seperate segments and everything is fine with them. Now after converting the segments from mpg1 640*480 to mpg2 480*480 I get clips that have audio out of synch. Normally the first one or two segments will be fine and the problem starts in the third segment or so. I am using tmpgenc to convert(version 12a since version 12b no longer supports mpg2).

Any idea's on whats happening? Can I do something after it's been converted to resynch the audio and video?

Thank You Ryan

Capture to avi then convert to mpeg 2.
converting from mpeg 1 to mpeg 2 is kinda pointless. (quality loss)
unless your mpeg 1 capture is 720 x 480 at 3500000.

But if you insist.... try joining all the mpeg 1's together than convert all to mpeg 2 at once.
or
If you are playing them on a dvd player in their seperate segments it could be your dvd player gets out of sync during playback.
Perhaps give me more detailes here in your encoding process and I can help.
I was VERY disapointed to see tmpenc has lost mpeg 2 I believe he was forced to after talking to the fine mpeg committe about his product. It seems they don't want us folks to have some nice power toys.
