Audio stretching...

[Ashendon]

I have a problem...when converting from avi file to svcd in avi2svcd, the sound becomes stretched and it lags behind the video a little at the start and then increases as the video goes on...is there anyway to stop this stretching of the audio when converting(since shrinking it is not an option according to everything i have read) from avi to svcd?

Try out my AviFix utility.
There is a guide here: http://www.azstarnet.com/~jeffryj/avifix.html
If this fixes it, please let me know.

Thanks,

I keep getting an error bad file name in module avifix3 at address 054E:0106
it doesnt work, maybe because i am using win xp?

It doesn't recognize long filenames.. Try shortening the AVI filename to 8 letters then the .avi

I'm working on a Windows version that doesn't have this problem, but I'm not as quick with Windows coding yet

i followed how to do it exactly and then tried to convert it over to svcd and the file i got didnt have any sound...the original did and also the corrected with avifix version did before the conversion and only after the avifix version was converted there was no sound...the original had sound after converted, but it was slowed down

when you converted to MPG, did you use the AVI for the sound input or the WAV that was saved? Try the saved WAV and see if that makes a difference.

i tried it both ways...and nothing works....i have not a clue why i am having so much trouble with this movie...i have had very little problems in converting avi to svcd before this movie

[calamari]

yeah that is strange.. I'm not sure what to tell ya.

Good luck,

Try to encode video and audio separately, then mux them together.

1. encode video with CCE or TMPG.
2. extract WAV audio from AVI with VDUB
3. encode audio
4. mux video and audio with bbmpeg.

be sure to check AV delay and the length of audio and video and make appropriate adjustments.
