VCD codec produces jittery fast WAV

[relayerman]

I have a question about the VCD codec: I noticed that the on the Codec page that the VCD codec available will do Karaoke discs, but will it do regular VCDs as well? The reason I ask is because I have a lot of music concerts on VCD that don't seem to convert correctly. They all come out running fast and the audio is a little jittery. I tried several of them with no kuck.

The VCDs that I have are encoded at bitrate of 224, freq. of 44100, 2 channel stereo, MPEG 1 Layer 2.

No matter what I try I can't seem to get the VCD to convert any of the VCDs I have to a listenable audio WAV file. Any suggestions or thoughts?

The VCD codec is an encode one only sorry.

but on the codec page

I guess i don't quite understand. On the codec page you say it will take a VCD and make an audio file. This would seem to me to be a DECODE from the VCD .dat file to .wav.

What would be the point of an ENCODE? ENCODE a .wav to what? and how would I use that for the VCD? I'm confused. Not angry or anything, just confused as to what exactly will the VCD codec do?

I don't do much in the way of video editing, but i would imagine for the people who capture full uncompressed video and audio they could then encode the audio part into vcd before burning to disk. not sure if that's spoons intention but that's how i would use it.

I creates vcd compliant mp2 files, needed if you were creating a vcd disk.

That explains some stuff...
A long while ago I converted one vcd file to wav just for fun and it sounded like 1.5 time faster than it should. I though that it was an unstandard file or something...
Now it's clear what it is for

VCD to wav? NOT

And Spoon removed the DECODER flag from the Codec page. It was misleading.

Oh yes forgot about the .dat decoder, it should do them then, can anyone please send me a .dat file that causes the x2 speed problem that is less than 10MB to dbpoweramp@dbpoweramp.com

VCD to wav? NOT

Spoon, just take any VCD and use the VCD codec to get your 2x speed problem. I didn't see any .DAT codec out there so don't know about that. That's what we need, though. A .DAT codec to convert the file to audio (WAV / MP3). that would be great!
