Flying W Things

Okay, all you geniuses out there. I've got a question for you.

I have started trying to catch up on the backlog of video footage I have of the kids. I am experimenting with making Video CD's (aka VCDs) of the finished short "movies" for a couple reasons. First, I figured it was a "lowest common denominator" format for DVD players. Second, I have a CD burner but not a DVD burner. (I suppose that if I had a DVD burner I'd just make DVDs and be done with it, although that might invoke new "+ vs. -" problems.)

Anyway, the other night I was fooling around with different codecs to see which one gave me the best results. I burned about six different tracks to a VCD using Nero Express ver 5.5.9.2, which came bundled with my CD burner.

Today at the office I played the disc back on a Sony DVD player, and the audio was about a second late across the entire VCD. When I play it at home, on my Apex DVD player, it's in sync.

Any ideas on what I can do to make a VCD that will play properly across different players? Or should I abandon hope and just start saving for a DVD burner?
