Sound not in Sync in SVCD

[acez]

Hi Guys,

I have converted a anime movie (originate as an .avi - 700 MB) in to a SVCD using DIKO. However, after I burned the file (.cue) into a 700MB/80min CD-R and play t in my DVD player, the sounds are like a minute ahead of the pictures.

I didnt have this kind of problem before for SVCD using DIKO, this is my first time.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks so much

Convert it with TMPGEnc rather than DIKO. While TMPGEnc has lots of options, it also has a wizard feature for newbies.

You might want to drop your .avi into Gspot 2.52 and check for MP3 VBR audio. It's a common problem that may result in out of sync audio when converted to MPG.

If so, you can extract the audio and convert to MP3 CBR or other compatible formats with VirtualDub. http://members.dodo.net.au/~jimmalenko/ExtractAudio.htm

Thanks guys I will try those method..but I am still hoping, if possible a way to loop around DIKO and make the sound sync work

If I use TMPGEnc to encode my movie, will it be able to fit in 1 CD-R like I used DIKO before?

acez,

Audio/Video sync issues can crop up from numerous problems, usually, it's because of dropped video frames while capping.

Newbies always state something like, "the original file is fine because it plays fine on my computer", BUT, if the problem is dropped video frames, the original has padding that's lost when you re-encode or author.

Your anime movie obviously is compressed, such a DIVX or some other compressed format I you did not capture it yourself, you don't know anything about it's quality. It might have tons of dropped frames.

As redwudz said, drop it in Gspot, that will tell you needed info about the file.

Forget DIKO and learn how to use something better.

Yes, just use the wizard, but keep in mind that MPEG-2 (DVD and SVCD formats) does not compress as well as XVID, DIVX, and WMV.

If you dont mind, would you give me a brief written out step of converting my avi movie to SVCD using TMPGEnc.

And..as i am a newbie, how do i use GSpot

Before you start asking for someone to write you personal guides - Do yourself a favor and use the convert tool left.
https://www.videohelp.com/guides.php?tools=&madeby=&formatconversionselect=AVI+to+SVCD&...or+List+Guides
Basically, load TMPGEnc, select the SVCD wizard, load your AVI and sit back and wait.
Author the resulting SVCD with VCDEasy.

With TMPGEnc encoder, just use the 'Wizard' for starts and select SVCD. When you know the program a little better, you can do the fine adjustments. There are lots of guides available in 'CONVERT' to the left.

If you have a DVD burner, I would use the DVD format instead.

Gspot 2.52 will tell you most all the parameters of a video file. For VBR, look for the little indicator on the left side. VBR audio causes a lot of problems when encoding to MPEG. If no VBR, it can get a little more complex.

If the audio is out of sync the same amount the length of the video, then you may need to apply a offset of the audio. If the audio sync gets worse as the video plays, then the audio and video length may be different. This is usually caused by dropped frames during capture or corruption of the file. Fixing either can get involved.

For information about the SVCD or DVD formats, see the specs to the upper left on our site. <<<<<<

All of the information you need has been covered OVER and OVER again on the forums. Do a little searching in the guides section and you fill find all the info you require.

Learning to convert takes time, LOTS of time, but the time spent is rewarded when you have a nice video to watch when you are done.
