virtualdub.

I use VirtualDub if I want to pull the actual wav file to be converted to AC3, or sometimes I just use AVISynth to feed the AVI to TMPGEnc to encode the MP2 stream.

sacajaweeda,

Just a matter of interest. Why do you use AviSynth and not load the avi directly into Tmpgenc? Are you changing the sample rate or something?

[sacajaweeda]

I use AVISynth because through all the trial and error I've figured out that with my hardware setup I have a pretty much constant delay in the audio/video synching issue, so It's just really easy to throw a -.200 offset in all my AVS scripts, and I'm already using AVISynth to frameserve all my stuff to CCE to encode the video anyways so I just do it that way for simplicity. I've got a standard basic script I use that has all the filters, resizing & the delay that I use for most of the stuff I do so I just paste in the AVI file names and just feed the AVS files to all the programs I use. Everybody has a "process" or whatever that they develop for standard production (or at least they should, IMO) and this is just something that I'm comfortable with.

Fair enough and a good idea. I pretty much do the same (as far as video is concerned) except I have no audio problems so it wouldn't have occured to me. It was just that I might be missing something I hadn't thought of.
