Audio / Video Out of Sink

[Tommy]

Hello. Hopefully someone can help me out here. I recorded
the television show "24" onto my hardrive. I saved the
file as an mpeg-1. I edited out all of the commercials
with Movie Maker. It obviously saved as a WMF file. No
problem. I created a VCD with Nero. I just dragged the
WMF file into the proper window and Nero converted it and
burned it. Now, when I watch the WMF file on my computer,
it's perfect. When I fired up the VCD, the sound was
behind the video for 5-10 seconds. What I am wondering
(more like hoping) was that because I added two photos(my
name in the first frame and a scan of a DVD cover in the
second), it threw the audio off.

Is that the case or am I doing something wrong ? I really
wanted to get away from recording with VHS and use my
computer exclusively. If the VCDs aren't going to come
out right though....

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

Hi there,

Take a look at www.papajohn.org Acceleration and Codecs might have the
answer but in any case the Problem Solving section should do the trick for
you.

Playing VCDs, SVCDs and DVDs on a computer takes specialized software.

Just want to save you some time - my website probably doesn't cover the
topic. Places like www.DVDRHelp.com are better resources.

Watching the movies saved by MM2 is best done on a computer by keeping the
files in WMV format and using the Windows Media Player.

I have a very similar problem except with a MM2 film I
created. I have added audio (MP3) songs on the MM2
project and it all plays back fine on the PC.

Using Nero I create a VCD and there is a delay of maybe 2-
3 seconds throughout which puts all the music out of line
and it would be very difficult to get the timing spot on
by guesssing the delay in the timeline.

Can't figure out from the replys whether this could be a
CD-burning thing (NERO) or MM2 and how it can be sorted.
Any help/knowledge out there would be gratefully received!
