Burning KVCD to regular 800MB CD/R 1

[kazthedragon]

I searched the strings and didn't see a problem quite like mine. If anyone knows better please tell me.

On to the problem, I've tried using both Nero and Alcohol to burn a number of KVCD files I have. I've been burning at 4x speed and I have been told before that anything below 8x would work fine. Well, burning at 4x with both those programs has turned out the same results. The video and audio are out of sync on the finished disk when viewing on a standalone DVD player. I've turned my burner down to 1x but the programs won't allow for less than 4x. Am I doing something wrong here? I'm really at a loss and could use some help.

Oh...before asking, the files do play decently on the PC. But as ya know, KVCD's are not encoded for PC viewing even with VLC Media player. My problem has been nagging me for about 2 months now...I've tried everything I can think of. Please help if you can.

KVCD is a modification to the standard MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 GOP structure and Quantization Matrix. It enables you to create over 120 minutes of near DVD quality video, depending on your material, on a single 80 minute CD-R/CD-RW. They have published these specifications as KVCDx3, their official resolution, which produce 528x480 (NTSC) and 528x576 (PAL) MPEG-1 variable bit rate video, from 64Kbps to 3,000Kbps. Using a resolution of 352x240 (NTSC) or 352x288 (PAL), it's possible to encode video up to ~360 minutes of near VCD quality on a single 80 minute CD-R. The mpeg files created will play back in most modern standalone DVD players. You must burn the KVCD MPEG files as non-standard VCD or non-standard SVCD (depends on your player) with Nero or VCDEasy.

What format are the files in to begin with?

You may want to find a standalone program to transcode the video with. Also. when transcoding. try to keep as little running on the system as possible. It could cause issues if you are low on cpu power or RAM.
