Poor man's Audio Sync Editing - looking for a good AVI splitter

[JeroldLopez]

I've been researching all the how to guides for audio sync fixing that I could find. I found a guide using Media Player Classic and adjusting the audio delay. I have a AVI that I ripped and has several points with different syncing errors. I figure I can find the first out of sync instance and determine the delay time in MPC , then move on to the next and so on and note them down. Then I would split the original AVI using those adjustment time points as the start/end points for the split --> then take each AVI segment and adjust the audio delay in MPC and lastly join them all together again. I have Boilsoft's AVI-MPG-ASF-WMV splitter and joiner software. I type in the exact time stamps to rejoin all the segments, but when I view the complete AVI, the movie skips, I guess is the best way to describe it, when it passes the joined timestamps. Kind of like even though I enter the exact time to start the split, the program keeps a mili-mili second of video before the time that I typed in resulting in that skip on the final. It seems to be doing this. I want it to start the split 01:12:03:004, but it actually splits at: 01:12:03:002 and that difference causes a slight jump in the final compiled edit.

Is there a program(s) that is super precise in actually splitting and joining at the exact time I give it. I think that this method works for me pretty well if I can get the skips out.

Thanks,
Jerold

The latest virtualdub does smart rendering, as does AVIDemux, so you should be able to cut precisely without having to re-encode everything.

Does virtualdub and AVIdemux split the video or just the audio? The boilsoft programs that I have is having issues with the video splits.

Both. I don't know of any free editor that allows for simple editing of an audio track in place.
