The sound is off a little bit, can someone help?

[AlucardXXVII]

I downloaded an SVCD yesterday and the sound is a little off. The actors speak and then the sound plays a fraction of a second later.

I want to re-encode the mpeg but have it cut out the first half second of audio and leave the video how it is.

Can I do this in TMPEGENC Plus?

Any help will be appreciated!!!

The only way I know of in TMPGEnc is to take the audio, load it in Gold Wave, delete the half second you spoke of, save it, then remux it back using TMPGEnc.

For some reason when I try to open avseq.mpg it tells me the format is unsupported. I have MPEG2 decoders on my computer to watch the SVCDs...anyone know what the problem is?

Okay I figured out how to demux the vid...but I am having a problem

Goldwave only saves the first thirty seconds of audio after I edit it. It's shareware but it says it's fully functional.

Anytone have any idea how to save the entire thing?

If you have access to it, you can try Ulead VideoStudio (trial will do). Not the most flexible package, but I have found useful where I don't know the exact amount the sync is out by and need to experiment.

If you demultiplex and load each of the streams you can simply drag the audio to whatever offset you want.

Just make sure your video settings for the project are the same as your source so you can use the smart-render option once you are done. That way it won't re-encode anything.

Drawback: If you don't have a fast PC (ie 2GHz up), when it tries to play your changes real-time it may be too jittery for you to tell whether you have got it right.

Oh yeah - before you bother with all this, check that the audio is out by the same amount for the entire clip. If it gradually gets further out, you need to do something more complex and I suggest consulting one of the many guides lurking around for details on how to handle that.
