Delay audio to sync with video using IFOEdit authoring?

[young707]

How to delay audio in IFOEdit DVD authoring ?
Can you tell me how to delay audio in IFOEdit DVD authoring?

When I use IFOEdit, V.094, DVD Authoring,
The Audio Delay is disabled?
How can I activate this?

The following is the BeSweet log when I try to delay the audio when I encode AC3 audio. But the audio does not seems move any at all.

What did I do wrong? Thank you for your advise.

How to synchronize audio to video?
I am trying to use the delay in BeSweetGUI.
Can you tell me +1000 move the audio ahead or behind the video?
This delay does not seem to have any effect at all moving the audio to match the video?

I am unable to synchronize the audio AC3 sound track created by DVD2AVI and with movie.m2v created by TMPGEnc.
I used IFOEdit to perform the DVD authoring and merge the video and video.

Thank you for your advise.

Single Click on the ac3 file in the ifoedit screen. The delay should now be active. Basically, because you can add multiple audio streams, you need to pick the one to delay.

If you need more than 30ms delay (like 80ms), use Ac3 Delay Corrector to get you less than 30 and then use ifoedit to do the last bit.

There seems to be some misinformation with Ac3 Delay Corrector out there. It seems to me that it cuts/adds frames of ac3, which are not 1ms long. Therefore, you can not use only it to sync your sound.

Thank you ImaWeTodd.
OK. I got it.

I am doing PAL DVD to NTSC DVD conversion.
This is much harder than I anticipate.
No straight forward method.

I have a hard time sync audio to video.
Is there any easy method to sync audio?

I also have a hard time trying to squeeze 2 hours PAL 1 DVD-5 disc into NTSC for one DVDR disc.
Any advise is very much appreciated.

Sorry, I've never done PAL to NTSC. Post a new topic with a title like "PAL to NTSC audio sync", and state your problem.
