hi, i have a few svcds and when i tried to convert them into playable avi's for the pocket pc on virtualdub but when i tried to open it, it gave me an error about synchronization, is there a way to convert svcds to avi's?

I'm starting to sound like a broken record with this, but I'll do it again: VirtualDub only supports video files encoded with one of the many Video For Windows (VFW) codecs. If your source file is using a non-VFW codec, VirtualDub cannot work with it.

Try checking around on doom9.org or dvdrhelp.com for conversion utilities.

Hey Talyn careful your showing your age...

Lot of the kids round here arn't gonna know about broken records

DOH!

How about 'starting to sound like a skipping CD?'

When you get old the first thing to go is your memory.....I can't remember the rest.

my memory may be off on this one but I seem to recall svcd's being mpegs, in which case you need a version of virtualdub that can open mpegs. it used to be that there was a special modified version that could do that. virtualdub-mpeg or some such thing.

You may want to try to convert to Window Media format. This works well with the PPC and you can convert about 1 hour of video into about a 120 meg file.

See the XP producer or the Media Encoder for 98. and 2000.

You will also need to use isobuster (freeware) to filter out the mpeg data from the svcd data. If you don't the sound and video will not sync.
