  1. When I put a dvd in a standalone player, from which I connect the red, white audio cinches, and the yellow composite cinch to the tv card on my computer, I can record the movie with virtual dub (with the option "synchronize audio to video"). However, there's a slight difference : the audio follows a few
    milliseconds after the video. I record with no audio compression (pcm
    11.000 hz, 8 bit as proposed by Virtualdub), and I use Divx Low Motion codec 3.20. So far I never had any problems with the synchronization
    of audio and video with these settings. But with this DVD I do (it's "Mulholland drive")

    However, when I use DVDdecrypter to make an ISO-file of the DVD, and then use Daemon tools to open the iso, and play it with PowerDVD, audio and video are in perfect synchronisation.

    Do you have any idea what may be causing it ? And if there is a solution ?

    Thanks

    Why aren't you ripping the DVD with something like DVD Decrypter or SmartRipper then processing THAT rip into a divx or whatever.

    Doesn't make any sense to "capture" it.

  3. Well, I had tried to rip a dvd, going from dvd decrypter over dvd2avi v 1.76(to convert the ac3 audio to wav) and there it stopped, as I had selected -for the conversion to wav - under "Audio" and "channel format" the option "linear pcm" (because I thought that would have been wav). I later discovered I had to choose the option "auto". I read this in a forum today.
    So now I have the wav. I succeeded in making a pseudo-avi(vfapiconverter) and
    frameserved it to Virtualdub. Now video and audio are in sync.

    But I still have a problem left : the dutch subtitles I'd like to have in my
    divx permanently.

    And so far I haven't been able to do this.

    You will agree that - had the result been perfect (no video/audio sync
    problems) - a capture from a standalone dvd-player with a little quality loss- as it's composite- would be much easier, since there you have the subtitles already.

    Just use GORDIAN KNOT and follow the guide for it which you can find on the DOOM9 website.

    With that you can rip subtitles and include them on the DivX (you can "burn" them into the image).

    GORDIAN KNOT is really the best tool for making a DivX. Also you should use DVD2AVI to extract the AC-3 then convert that into eithre MP3 or you can leave it as AC-3 if you want. Don't use DVD2AVI to extract a WAV as it is not the best tool for doing so plus you are making a DivX so you never need a WAV anyways.

    P.S.
    No I do not agree that a capture is a good "easy" solution. There is absolutely no need for it when you can rip a DVD ... not only is it faster than real time but the quality is perfect with no digital to analog to digital conversion needed as per a capture "solution".
