QUERY: is ProjectX better than VideoRedo & MPEG Wizard DVD together?

[kevingpo]

I just started using ProjectX 0.90 and quite like it. However I need to know what ProjectX does on "default" settings when demuxing... regarding GOP/PTS errors.

----PreSettings window----

Special tab, Specials 2 pane:

(unchecked) Audio: use only first PTS for sync
(unchecked) Audio: limit points of PTS for sync
(unchecked) Video: ignore errors after 1st PTS/GOP
(unchecked) Video: adapt sliding PTSs

Video tab, Video corrections (demultiplex) pane:

(unchecked) insert sequenzendcode on format changes
(unchecked) ensure each GOP has a sequenceheader

------------------------------

I notice by default these PTS/GOP related settings are unchecked. Is this good, for the best? Will it improve my GOP/PTS fixing-resizing if I enable them?

Basically I do DVB-mpeg2-recordings. But as you know broadcast transmissions will contain errors. I used to use VideoReDo quickstream fix & MPEG Wizard DVD full GOP/PTS fix-resize before DivX encoding. Otherwise if I don't do a full GOP/PTS fix-resize then the DivX encoded file audio is out-of-sync. So my query is, does ProjectX do a full GOP/PTS fix-resize? Or do I need to enable these options?

The ProjectX support site is German, but they do reply to questions in English. The documentation for ProjectX is fairly sparse, so you might have to post your question there if you really want to know.

VideoRedo = fee
MPEG Video Wizard DVD = fee

ProjectX = free

In regards to fixing errors in DVB recordings ProjectX is very good at it. It is often better than the other free alternative PVAStrumento. I seldom have any audio sync problems after fixing it with projectX.

I think the default settings are good but if you have problems with a file you can try changing them to see if it helps.

Free does NOT mean a product is better.
