Hi and first of all thanx for reading this. I've downloaded a few movies captured in avi format at 23.976 fps. As I live in Europe I've tried to encode these movies with TMPGenc into mpg format/25 fps but the resulting movie doesn't play smoothly and the picture skips/drops frames. Use Virtualdub and split image/sound. Convert just the image at 25 fps and plays OK, smoothly, but of course when I re-encode this resulting 25fps picture together with the wav the audio/video don't syncr. I've tried to convert the audio to 25fps with Besweet and with Cool edit too, but still the audio/video don't get syncronized. Does anyone know what to do to convert the audio to 25fps and make it sync with the video? Thanx very much to everyone!

I also am in Europe. This will probably work
Tools
Virtual Dub
Tmpgenc
Tmpgenc Dvd Author
Nero
1. Load file in virtual dub, audio, full processing, extract wav.
2. You do not say if you are going for dvd or not this method is for that.
3. Tmpgenc, wizard select dvd (16.9) or (4.3) depending on your file 29.97 fps. Load in your video file and the audio you converted. Tmpgenc will automatically add 3:2 pulldown. Select other settings keep aspect ratio.
4. Convert file
5. Tmpgenc dvd author, add files you created click output.
6. Finally load burning program and burn (i prefer nero).
Any problems post back.
I have explained this along with many others multiple times in the past. In the future if you do a forum search you will find may threads relevant to your post with much better responses than mine.
Good luck. -
Hi again, thanx for answering, but I've tried that and it doesn't work either. This is what I do: I open TMPGenc, wizard appears and select DVD PAL, load the original video file and the wav I obtained through Virtualdub from the original avi file. I click next, go to other settings tab but the frames box appear ghosted and cannot be changed. I notice that 3:2 pulldown is not active either, but instead non-interlace. If I close the wizard and do it through the main window in settings tab I select 3:2 pullown 25 fps, but then I get a message that says 3:2 pulldown is only allowed for 29.9 fps?????

Here's a reply I posted to somebody else with the problems.
Try to use avi's encoded with ac3 audio as i've always found them easier to work with.
1. Open avi file with gspot to find out all it's info i.e. aspect ratio,video codec used,frame rate and audio codec.
2. Open your avi file in nandub and select direct stream processing under audio, then click Save Wav, this will give you you're ac3 file but will give it a wav file header. We need to change the header before we can covert it.
3. Use ac3fix (you need to run this program from a c:>) to fix the wav header and give it it's correct ac3 tag. ac3fix is very easy to use, just make sure the program is in the same directory as you're ac3/wav file and open a dos session, goto the directory with the program and the ac3/wav file and type: ac3fix filename.wav filename.ac3
4. You know have a working ac3 file, now open BeSweetGUIv.06 and use this to convert the framerate of the ac3 file to 25fps. Audio conversion is now complete.
5. Video conversion now, open TMPGenc and use the project wizard to select a PAL DVD. I always use the 2 pass method for best results,under the Advanced tab make sure the Field Order is set to "Bottom Field First (field B), and also the Source Aspect Ratio should be set to 1:1 VGA. Set Video Arrange Method to Fullscreen (Keep Aspect Ratio). Make sure you tick the box for "Do Not Frame Rate Conversion". This setting is very important.
6. Only output the video stream as you've already got your audio sorted.
7. Now use TMPGenc DVD Author to mux your freshly converted video file with your ac3 file and then author your dvd.
I use this method all the time now and get perfect dvd's every time, with the odd exception. I have also been experimenting with the different aspect ratio settings, getting this right has a massive impact on the quality of you're final DVD. The settings i've used above seem to give the best results so far for xvid/divx avi files.
Hope this helps.
Let me know how you get on.
