damned audio out of sync again

[Kooz]

and this time it's progressivly out of sync.

the vobs i rip are in sync, or at least appear to be, but somewhere between frame serving with dvd2avi and encoding with either tmpegenc or cce it all goes out of sync.

i cant open the file in vdub cos 1. it wont open a clean mpeg2 stream and 2. it says packet out of sync.

where am i going wrong???

driving me insane - i finally get perfect video stream but now the easy part is stuffed...grr

just discovered something interesting - the video file is 1 hour 54 minutes 17 seconds, but the audio is 1:54.27 ... so i squashed the audio in goldwave to fit the same time frame, but it's still out of sync - only slightly though, so it's not a perfect solution.

that was straight from a fresh rip and frameserve with dvd2avi ... anyone else noticed this problem?

i guess that when encoding, the audio is squashed to fit the video stream length or vice versa and the result is progressivly out of sync audio

why is it doing that???

I have the same problem of syncro, did you find a solution ?

Use DVD2AVI 1.75 or disable Forced Film.

newest version of dvd2avi been giving ppl problems...apparently forced film makes the fps 24 rather than regular 23.976, which will make your audio progressively outta sync

Did you trim the video clip? If you did (and didn't apply the SAME trim to the audio - very few programs will do both at the same time), then when you remux the file, of COURSE the audio will be out of sync.

Try to remember where you trimmed the video (hopefully at one end only) and chop off ten seconds there. Although "squashing" the file will sometimes work (especially only ten seconds out of 6857) this technique (I believe) resamples the data to fit the time (or something like that).

I think that most of the audio "sync" issues are due to the trimming of the video, and since both have time stamps, any change in one will affect the placement of the other in the mux.

[Kooz]

squashing or stretching the timebase for the audio will result in a pitch shift up or down, but when the difference is only a few seconds over several thousand the resulting pitch shift will be like 0.003%

is there any other software to use OTHER THAN dvd2avi, for that task?

when i frameserved the movie, i ran dvd2avi with no trimming, so i can only assume that it was force film...havent had the time to try again of late tho ...

[poopyhead]

bottom line: use older version of dvd2avi and problem will be solved

[Kooz]

so 1.75+ bad? 1.74 good?
