svcd and toshiba sd210E

davee b · 09-07-2002, 9:39 AM

hi

does anyone have problems playing svcd (cdr/rw) on the toshiba sd210 E. the video on mine is fine but there are lip sync problems with the audio lagging by up to half a second. is there a firmware upgrade to solve this and if so where do i get it. i've tried toshiba and toshiba uk sites and they were useless.

Hi,

I have the newer SD220 and am experiencing the same problems. I have yet to find a solution to the problem !!

If I come across anything I'll let you know.

**UPDATE**

Finally got to speak to a tech at toshiba, who isn't surprised that SVCDs have an audio lag as neither their old or new players support the format

I had the same problem a while back.

There were some reports over at www.vcdhelp.com that a firmware update solved the problem, however this doesn't work.

There are a couple of things you can do. The first is to introduce a time delay into the audio to sync to two up.

The second is my own solution and it works for me. That's to remove any menu's or titles/logo's from the beginning of the SVCD.

This is easy if your generating your own SVCD's like me as you just change the production method. If your buying SVCD's all you could do is edit them and output back to a new cd. Of course your gonna need a suitable PC and software to do it.

All my home made SVCD's now work perfectly.

For the peeps with vcd probs, from the vcd helper site:

Quote:

I though the sd210e was brilliant in picture quality until I upgraded to the Toshiba sd220e which is even better and gets around the problem of svcd lip-sync by pressing angle button twice, ie too switch audio1,audio2,and back to audio1. Ps If you want too know the version of firmware your player is using, then switch on player no disk and on the remote press zoom 606 zoom its that easy.

hope it helps chaps.
