How to delay the audio by .6 seconds

[jcool26]

Hello how are you all! I have an audio sync problem with an avi file. I was told that if you delayed the audio by. 6 seconds it would be fine but how would you go about doing that? I would appreciate the help.

Remux with VirtualDub. Set the audio delay to 600 ms.

Do you do direct stream copy and is it positive or negative 600?

[jagabo]

Yes, set Video to Direct Stream Copy. Audio is normally Direct Stream Copy by default -- but check it. Select Audio -> Interleaving, set the skew delay to 600 ms. That will delay the audio by 0.6 sec. When you need to advance the audio set the delay to a negative value.

Ok thanks!

The main reason I keep VirtualDubMod handy, is unlike VirtualDub you can specify a default video encoding method, including direct stream copy. Given I rarely use either for encoding it saves me having to abort the job, switch to direct stream copy, then resave the AVI again..... I do it virtually every time with VirtualDub (no pun intended). And VirtualDubMod can handle multiple audio streams. Pity you can't disable the VBR bitrate warning for MP3 audio, but that's just a minor annoyance.

Well that's just silly........

Thanks for that. I modified the shortcut in the SendTo menu and now I can send an AVI to VirtualDub all ready to Direct Stream Copy.
