Hi Manfred,

I checked the problem with the latest S/W versions and any SVCD and
(commercial) VCD was playing ok. I found a similar problem (pictures
freezing, sound jumping) however when I replayed some homebrew VCDs. It
occured only for a few VCD tracks.

I think it's a problem of missing sync information when remuxing the
MPEG sources for the tracks. Have you already tried to create a SVCD as
described in Peter Hoffmann's SVCD-Howto? Encoding/remuxing is done with
the mjpegtools/DVB driver tools and I never had problems with SVCDs
created this way so far.
