Willing to pay $20 for...

[derekj212]

Audio sync! If anyone can provide me with a solution I can use over and over again on each video from my VCR that doesnt take longer than the source to re-encode, I will PayPal you $20.

Here goes:

After many tries of everything, here is the method I use and intend to use:

Capture with MovieStar 5 (ONLY program that works to capture from DVC200)
I have it breaking up the files into 15 minute segments (650MB).

I then watch them in WMP and the audio is perfect, so I know the capture is correct.

Then I run them through TMPGenc Authoring and change no settings, leaving it with LPCM audio, and 6k bitrate, and all defaults so it encodes nothing. I then make the VOBs and watch it using PowerDVD, or burn it and watch it.

When I still captured in one file, the audio would get progressively worse (i think), so thats when I changed to 650MB files. So now, each 2hr movie is 8 files. A few of the files are in sync, yet some are out and its killing me.

How can I take this file .mpg (MPEG2 video, PCM audio), and get it in sync without a lot of converting or guess and check...I just need a method that works as I would like to give these to people but the audio sync problem makes that not possible.

Any help is appreciated!

I decided to get a ATI Radeon 8500DV and coupled with NeoDVD Plus it does exactly what i need!
