Gotta problem here. The audio and video are perfectly in sync on my computer when I play these tv rips. However, when creating vcd/dvd problems arise.At first with a simple demultiplex and dvd author, I get a gradual out of sync'ness. So, I struggled with this problem for a few days till I found a way to get audio sync'd up to the video but at an exspense.What I did was to put the original non demultiplexed episode .mpg into tmpgenc and selected audio only and encoded it. Only this just added various silences into the track to compensate for the bits of data that were perhaps unreadable, which is very irritating. Many things were tried during this process, too lame ssrc and tmpgenc without those. Tried some other programs to try de multiplex, even win32 based ones but I just get the same thing.There is obviously chunks of data that is can't rip, when demultiplexing, so it just leaves them. And I'm not really sure why the encoding way adds silences or liittle erps and digi distortion depending on what I use.. Also tried sound forge with mpeg plugins..Another more tedious way was, I played the original mpg on my comp then recorded the audio from that onto wav... but that just did the gradual out of sync thing when authored with the demultiplexed video. And also,tried graph edit and a fresh windows... produced same results.




I use windows 2k with service pack 3

episode.mpg(original) 43:57

after de multiplex
Video 43:57
Audio 43:50

After encoding just audio from mpg
audio 43:50 (with erps and 1second silences here and there)

I doubt anyone has a solution, because I have been at this for about a month now, and te only way I can see solving the problem is by somehow cutting the video stream at the same point it gets cut during the demultiplexing proccess...which it just damn near impossible to do manually..

So anyway, I thought hey **** it, I'll just re encode the entire episode video and all, that'll sort it. Wrong! just added the old silences again.(vfapi plugins messed with too, no affect)

also tried be sweet soundforge with mpeg plugins..blah blah blah blah blah
