Mencoder sync problem

[servetoz32]

I have a sync problem when I try to burn subtitle movie. Start of the output movie sync is good but end of it audio comes a few second ago than video.
I tried wmav1 , wmav2 and mp3 audio codecs in Mencoder.
How to I fix it?

My command:

mencoder.exe -mc 0 -priority idle   -vid 0  -vf-add scale=1920:1080 -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=3500:threads=auto:preset=veryfast:tune=film -of avi  -subfont-autoscale 3 -subfont-blur 2 -subfont-outline 3 -font Arial -subcp UTF-8 -subpos 96 -subfont-text-scale 3 -sub "C:\Users\servet\Desktop\log\mark.srt" -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=256 -channels 2  -delay 0  -o "C:\Users\servet\Desktop\output.avi" "C:\Users\servet\Desktop\source.mp4"

Why not copy the audio? Instead of reconverting it. AAC works fine in a mp4. I don't know the command for copy in mencoder though...

[servetoz32]

My smart tv doesn't support a lot of codecs so I have to convert wmav1 , 2 or mp3. I tried faac, it converted very lossy.

Ok, here is what I did to have PS3 mencoder media streamed properly and with audio synced:

This site was my base: http://mediatomb.cc/dokuwiki/transcoding:transcoding

But the audio was out of sync, so I altered their script like this:

#!/bin/bash
srt="$1"
output="$2"
# filename must be of the form "movie name.XX[X].srt" or "movie name.srt"
base_name="$(echo $srt | sed 's/\..\{2,3\}\.srt$//' | sed 's/\.srt$//')"

extensions="avi mp4 mpg mov"
for ext in $extensions ; do
input=$base_name.$ext;
if [[ -e $input ]]; then break; fi
done

exec mencoder "$input" \
-oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg \
-ofps 24000/1001 \
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:keyint=15:vbitrate=1800:vrc_maxr ate=2500:vrc_buf_size=917 \
-mpegopts tsaf:vbitrate=5800:muxrate=7500 -noskip -mc 0 \
-vf harddup \
-sub "$srt" -subcp enca:gr:iso-8859-1 \
-font "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf" -subfont-autoscale 2 \
-o "$output"

So, explaining:

subcp for the proper encoding of the subtitles. It's optional if you are using UTF-8 files.
The quality setting in vcodec option are for VCD videos. You can change it to DVD, if you want.
The 24000/1001 value in ofps changes the frame rate. I don't know if it's important, but it worked for me.

Hope it helps.
