Hello fellows,
First, no I don't want to use Pocket DivX Encoder.
It given me nothing but a headache and some audio sync problems.
I'm using Pocket-DVD Studio 3.5 Build 08 with the latest codec available on pqdvd.com site.

When encoding files, regardless to the settings that I'm using,
( Xvid, Dvix, Higher\Lower audio level, Lower\Higher bitrate, 1 pass encoding, 2 pass encoding, 24NTSC, 25PAL ) I'm getting this annoying statics on the encoded file audio track.

Here are 2 sample files. ( 2MB each \ 30 sec ) which describe the problem best.

The static sound is audible on any computer I run the encoded file.
The static sound does not appear when I'm using other encoding tool, but, as I said, Pocket-DVD Studio is the one I desire.

Any one encountered with this kind of problem ?
Any one can suggest a bypass to this problem ?

Thanks in advance,

Lior

Edit :
The original file is in VOB format and located on the hard drive.
When played, The VOB file sounds just fine.
I tried to encode directly from the DVD with the same problem.

So....
No one
Just as I thought .. and I think I know why.
I figured this out yesterday.
I guess most of you here are from north America.
It is only happens with a none region 1 DVD...
Strange !!!
I have some region 1 DVD's at home and I can encode them without the problem described above.
When I try to encode Region 2 DVD ( europe ) get this audio problem described above. (and yes, I changed the frame rate from 24 to 25 when region 2 was encoded ).

Arrrrrrrrrrrr...........

Might be worth trying to rip the the dvd to the harddrive, removing region encoding in the process, before using Pocket-divx. Try somewhere like www.digital-digest.com for information and tools. Edit-- Or in the sticky at the top of the Multimedia section.
