audio/video timing off

[yoshi1668]

I have converted a DVD to MPG file using DVDx. but the video and audio seems to be out of line. Specically the audio is a notch behind the video. Is there any way to correct this problem?

I don't use DVDx, so I don't know, why you did run into this trouble. Try demux/ remux http://www.vcdhelp.com/bbmpegedit.htm
and under MPEG output settings> program stream settings set the video or audio startup delay.

I'm using DVDx, too (in conjunction with VCDImager), and I've encountered the problem with NTSC DVDs exclusively. I've converted more than a dozen DVDs to SVCD now, and ALL of the PAL SVCDs are OK, ALL(!) of the NTSC rips are out-of-synch, badly. I've tried both 23.97 and 29.97 frame rate, audio/video re-synch on/off, nothing seems to help. The audio lags behind almost 5 seconds. Again, the rip works perfectly on PAL discs.

yes, the DVD that I was trying to rip is in NTSC format. However, I don't have that severe problem. I'm off by may be slightly more that half a second.

By the way. I'm trying to make MPEG1 for the time being.

I got it following the direction you mentioned. I have to do several trial and error to get it right. It's off by 1/10th of a second.
