Audio synch issues

[deramon]

I have been having trouble with dvd's authored from svcds using ulead dvd movie factory 2 in that the audi is almost always out of synch. I demultiplexed using tmp, re-encoded the audio to 48k (using ssrc) and then multiplex back all with tmp.

I believe that the problem is where in the multiplexing with tmp. I don't remember this issue with spruceup, but dvd's did not alway burn with spruceup and nero was a bit of pain to use to burn.

Is anyone else had these issues and found out to resolve them? Maybe using womble to multiplex? I know that I will have to test these out myself as well ...

all i do is extract audio with gold wave alter the sync and try encoding for say 3mins check it and if all is ok great if not keep adjusting goldwave.
ive done loads of svcd to dvd without any probs

regards will

Okay, I'll check that out. I don;t know goldwave myself. I assume that you use tmp to demultiplex the mpeg to video and audio files?

I have the same problems with DVD factory. I converted my tv series VCD's audio to 48khz and remultiplexed it. The file would play PERFECTLY in sync while on the computer OR if i burned it as a xvcd onto a cdr and played it in my apex 1500. As soon as I use Ulead to burn DVD the sound would go out of sync on most of the episodes when played on the standalone or computer DVD player. I don't know why, but i suspect the software. The DVD-R i use is a rebadged A05 firmware 1.00 with memorex dvd-rs made by TAIYO YUDEN. Does somebody know what is wrong?

LanEvo7 I don't think that the problem is with the burner. I just tried the svcd to dvd-svcd method. Tmp recombined the re-encoded audio file and by the end of the clip, or 40 mins the audio was way off.

Unfortunately being brain dead I had forgotten about the post by willmcmanus. But from my experience Spruceup did NOT make the audio sych problem when it combined the files into one.

Well guys, I don't know what to believe anymore...

I have the same problems that you incurred in: an mpg file
that works perfectly will result in a DVD with the audio out of sync
when authored with Ulead MF 2 or with DVD Workshop.

On the other hand the result will be perfect if I use either DVDit! PE
or SpruceUP.

WHY???????

I posted this question yesterday and the olny suggestion I got was to
apply the latest patch for MF2. I have and it made no difference.

I hope someone knows what is causing this problem in MF2
and how to get around it.

Same problem here with DVD Workshop - audio is in perfect sync before mastering and out of sync thereafter.

I think that maybe 1.3 has some kind of problem, because I used the same video in 1.0 and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for that info Foolio70. I have been getting good success with Spruceup and until I see a better app out there I guess I'll stick with it. Someone has to get with it and develop a svcd-dvd authoring software to help lazy brain dead people like myself.
