Audio Synchronising

[pthree]

Hi there,

This is my first DVD Project. I used D.I.K.O., AVICodec and DVD-LAB PRO.

I download the original files (*.avi) with emule, separated audio and video with DIKO (following the instructions from https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=263309 ) into *.mpv and *.mp2 files. After creating the menus I compiled the project, but found out the audio must be delayed (voices come up much before the actual lips moving). I dont know, however, how many "ms". Because I dont want to try a bizillion times before I actually get it right, I ask you for help.

Is there an easier way of matching sound and picture (or an easy way of finding out the "ms"?

Here is my File Overview of Project

Thank you all in advance!

ps: please bear in mind that my first language isn't English. So, take it easy on slangs and technical terms.

I haven't found one. Use a stopwatch/secondhand/timer to get as close as possible, then refine it

Load your original avi files in GSpot. Look for the delay in the User Data or Container windows. p means positive, NG means negative. Good luck.

Thank you guys for the tips. I actually did something different. I started it all from scratch and miraculously nothing went wrong. The sound was in synch!!

I appreciate all the help and must say this is the best site for dvd projects on the web. However, there is something else I'd like to ask:

I got the charmed theme song and wish to use it in my menus, but all I can do is link the song to each separated menu. I.e., every time I change menus the song starts all over again. I wish it would keep playing till the end and only then restart, regardless of what menu I change to.

Is it possible to do so? How? Just so you know I use DVD LAB PRO 1.53.
