When using either cdg to mpg or cdg to avi, in the finished item whether being an mpeg or avi the music seems to have a sort of popping noise that goes along with it almost like its not been encoded properly. Have tried the different codecs on there but does not seem to make any difference.

Anyone have any ideas. (i'm running XP )

Thanks

Does it happen in every CDG file you are converting? And are you sure that the noise is not there when you play CDG or BIN file in Power CD+G Player?

The files i'm converting from are mp3+cdg files, have played the mp3's on winamp and sound perfect but when i'm putting the mp3 & cdg file into cdg to avi/mpg and converting them, the sound has that popping noise, have tried playing the avi/mpg with winamp and media player but stull the same.

Thanks again

What OS are you using? Have you tried installing latest DirectX (http://www.microsoft.com/download)?

i also have this problem with pops and other noises after converting mp3+cdg to avi. have tried all available bit rates but the result is always the same. original mp3 file plays back perfectly in any mp3 player, but is subject to "noise" after conversion.

O.S. - XP home sp1
DX9.0b

Here's something related to your problems:

I get these annoying popping sounds on playing any cdg/mp3 karaoke song on my computer (win xp home/media player 10). Same thing doesn't happen when I select the mp3 file without the cdg for playback only or if I use different cdg-players.

Any clue as to what to do?

Cheers

zondarg, which software are you referring to? Power CD+G Filter?

We are currently investigating the problem -- does it happen for all files? Can you possibly send me the MP3 file that is causing the problems?

Since you have been investigating the problem for some time now:

Did you find out anything? Has this bug been reproducable? Was the file I sent you of any help?

I am sorry, but I have been unable to reproduce the problem -- I have tried it on different machines and it plays perfectly. I have had couple of similar report, but I cannot find any common point to them. The only solution would be to completely re-write the file playback routine, which is not possible at the moment.
