[VCDImager Bugs/Devel] SVCD out of sync

[Udo Wolter]

Hi !

I'm using DV material and conbvert it with the mjpegtools to
MPEG2 (SVCD format). After getting the mpg-files I'm using vcdimager
& cdrdao to burn them. Under Linux it's absolutely no problem, mplayer
can read and play them correctly, no matter if you
play the files directly or as track from the SVCD.

But my Yamakawa 780 has almos 1/10 of a second difference. The video
stream comes before the audio stream. Is this an issue with
my DVD player ? Or is it vcdimager, cdrdao or even the mjpegtools ?

I'm using mjpegtools-1.4.0 & vcdimager 0.7.0 at this time (don't know
which version of cdrdao, but I think this is not the important
part).

Another question: I have several options in mplex (belongs to
the mjpegtools) creating a SVCD. There is a default blocksize of
2324 bytes, but with vcdimager I can write them with 2336 or 2352
Bytes, so what is recommended ? Shall I set the blocksize in
mplex to 2336 ? Is it better to write 2336 size blocks with
vcdimager ?

Another thing is the number of buffers in mplex. In the manual it
says it's important for playback. What are they for ?

Thanx,
        Udo
