I'll get to the point. I have some clips (38 ) that I'd like to join (into one video) and through trial and error and VideoHelp.com research, I figured out how to do it with VirtualDub. So, yes, I can actually get the clips to join together. (I would like to make a few dozen videos from a few hundred clips. The first one I'm working on just happens to have 38 clips involved.)
But the problem is that the lengths of the audio in my clips are slightly shorter than the video. And when VirtualDub joins the clips together, it puts the audio back to back instead of starting the appended clip's audio when that clip starts. After only joining (and then saving using direct stream copy for both video and audio streams) eight clips or so, the audio gradually gets skewed more and more with each appended video. By the end, it's off by about 1.5-2 seconds. From only eight clips. -__-
I've tried VirtualDubMod, but got the same result. VirtualDub MP3 Freeze. Same result. I tried deleting a few frames off the beginning and end of every clip after I append them, but I got the same thing since the audio slides over to meed the other audio. I figured that maybe I could make a .VOB out of the video files with tmpgenc + tmpgenc DVD Author and then use Gordian Knot or something similar to rip the multiple DVD chapters (from the multiple video files) back to a single video, then delete the "frames of silence" around the joined points with VirtualDub. But tmpgenc says that my videos are unsupported. (Encoded in 1-pass Divx with a bitrate of around 4000. The audio is 192kbps stereo MP3. Why it won't open it when it's opened every other Divx/Xvid file for me, I don't know.)
I've tried everything I can think of, so any help that is given to me is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
EDIT: I JUST FIGURED IT OUT.
Why it didn't hit me sooner, I don't know. I've seen this window before. I must be utterly retarded.
Anyway, Virtualdub allows one to change the source framerate to match the audio duration. Then one can change the framerate back to whatever he or she wants:
And with a little directory processing from the jobs control window, it worked. I joined up something like 15 clips and I couldn't notice where any of them were out of sync. 8)
