Can't get sync guide to work - can't load into Sound Forge

[DPolwarth]

Hi!

I'm trying to follow the guide that is listed on this website that allows a clip that is out of sync to be put back into sync using Sound Forge. The guide is called 'How to Fix gradual Loss of Sync Once and For All.'

I have followed the guide so far. I have demuxed the video and audio into seperate files using TMPGEnc as advised. I am then told to load the audio into Sonic Foundry. Well, I have Sound Forge 7.0, and I cannot get the software to recognise the demuxed audio file created in TMPGEnc. I have tried everything. I have put a .mp2 after the audio file before saving, but that did not do anything. At one point it even tried to load it in as a raw file!

I have never used Sonic Foundry before, and frankly I don't know what I am doing. If someone out there can help, I would be ever so grateful. Please can you tell me how to demux a video clip and load the audio into Sound Forge?

Thanks for any help you can give ...

Help!

You have to have the MAINCONCEPT MPEg audio plugin to use SoundForge with MPEG2.

Try converting the MPEG audio to WAV in BESWEET then load the WAV into SoundForge.

That's easy to do also.

The fix the audio. Save the WAV.

Convert back to MPEG audio in Besweet.

Thanks for your help - I've never used BeSweet before, and even with the GUI it was a monster to figure out what was going wrong!

Anyway, I managed to complete the guide as directed with your help. Unfortuntately, the clip did go back into synchronisation, but only for the point where I had chosen to compare the sync marks between film and audio and adjust it. In other words, the new sample rate I had chosen worked perfectly for the point I was focusing on, but before and after it was still out of sync.

Was this a different kind of synchronisation problem? Perhaps instead of adjusting the sample rate I simply needed to shift everything along a second or so?

Any ideas, please?
