Divx And Xvid Audio Sync Prob (please Help!!)

[tbs005]

Hi .. i have a number of both divx files and some xvids, until yesterday i though i had the sweetest movie computer, until i had problems with a movie in which the the audio was about .7 seconds ahead of the video ... it only happens with two of my movies. i tried installing a new audio codec and it didnt fix the problem, is it the movie or my computer ... by the way i have a amd athlon xp2500

it is most likely the movie..... if they are downloaded avi's then divx/xvid are notorious for a/v sync issues cause you never know who did what to them and if they knew what they were doing. if they were captures you did yourself...then it is possible you may be dropping frames or thier is a sync issue during capture.

Hey,

In all honesty, it isn't worth the hassle trying to figure this out. I spent weeks trying with the same issue. There are just too many variables.
It could be frameserved incorrectly when the DVD is ripped,
It could be the Variable Bit Rate settings are off when ripped/converted
It could be that if the source file was out of sync, the person who ripped it may have resampled it to a different frequency to correct the issue or stretched it or displaced it in an audio editing program - in which case you would fiddle for days trying to figure it out....There are just too many variables,

My advice is....if the audio is messed, it's most likely the source file you are using. Try downloading another copy off the net, or try ripping it yourself from an original. It isn't worth the hassle man. I was trying this on Kiss of the Dragon for weeks. I finally gave up...but I learned a lot.

Good luck

Ice

What is your conversion method.

If your movie is constantly .7 seconds out of sync this should be easy to fix. You can frameserve from Virtual Dub and under audio selection, choose interleaving. You can then offset the audio so that it syncs properly to the video. If the audio gradually goes out of sync this is a bit tougher to deal with.
