M2-Edit 4.0 is out

[VidGuy]

I'm going to give it a go and see if it's fixed any of the audio sync/fast forward problems that v3.3 had. I'll report back.

[VidGuy]

Nope - not fixed. If the SVCD video is muxed with BBMPeg or TMPGEnc, it still has serious audio sync problems. It also still bitches about missing frames.

Unfortunately, they're multiplexer is broken (complains about no audio in the video stream!) so I can't see if they can deal with their own multiplexed files.

It's funny how this stuff works. M2-edit is the only program that I have found that lets me edit without A/V sync problems. I take an mpeg2 capture into M2-edit and edit it and save it as a mpeg2 program file. I then demux/mux it in Mpeg2vcr and save it as a mpeg2 program SVCD. It burns in Nero fine. Mgeg2vcr will demux an 800 meg file in about 90 seconds and muxes just as fast. It's very fast.

What do you encode your video and audio with? How do you mux them before you give them to M2-Edit? Have you ever tried a 1.3-1.4 GB file? Thanks for any info.

VidGuy:
I use M2-edit v3 and the only time i've encountered "missing frames" is with NTSC 23.97fps material that has had 3:2 pulldown applied to make it 29.97fps. Using a frame rate conversion program on the demuxed video to force it back to 23.97 then remuxing allows the editing to be done without any "missing frames" (where you see the rainbow stripe frame preview). After editing, I demux, reapply 3:2 pulldown, remux and then everything is good to go.

I capture mpeg2 real time with an AIW Pro. I do no demux/mux prior to editing the file in M2-edit. I found if I did the file would be out of sync. I then demux/mux the cuts in Mpeg2vcr only because Mpeg2vcr is really fast and it allows you to save the muxed file as an SVCD program file. The only reason I go through the demux/mux process is because my Apex 703 won't play the file unless I do. My Apex 660 will play the raw mpeg2 file just fine without the demux/mux but the 703 will not. So I do the extra step in Mpeg2vcr. It's probably 5-10x's faster than TMPG.
