Hi guys,

Im trying to convert an avi to vcd.

I usually use ffmpeg and then vcdimager.
But ive been noticing that after converting to mpeg, the sound is out of sync, still kind of watchable (about 1-2 second delay) but really annoying.

So today i tried using tovid at first i used the -dvd option, and tried the resulting mpg, and the sound was still in sync YAY! but then when i tried to convert it to vcd using vcdimager i got lots of errors.
I realised i had to use the -vcd option to create a vcd :P but then after that converted the sound was out of sync again.

So is there anyway i can stop this? or is there a way to convert the output of the -dvd option of tovid to vcd?

Thanks
Kane

I'm not sure how to stop them getting out of sync, but when I run into that problem I find that Avidemux is a simple tool for getting them back in sync. All you have to do is open the file and enter the number of milliseconds that you want the audio advanced or delayed by.

Beyond that, I'd suggest using Avimedux for the conversion itself. It will save you from having to use multiple programs.
