close to giving up!

[nivag]

Hello,

I have just bought a dvd writer so i can convert some avi files i have and put more than one on a disc, should be easy enough!!??

I have tried just about every program and the audio is ALWAYS out of synch! i've tried progs such as ulead video studeo 6, movie factory 2, tmpgenc, v/dub, i've extracted the audio and tried merging audio and video but still no luck,

I've tried for weeks now and really am close to giving up completley and all i wanted to do was put a film which was longer than 74mins on one disc, have i wasted my money?

any help/advice greatly received!

Hey I went through the same frustrating experience. Try using NeoDVD Plus which is a simple program that actually does what they say it does. The audio is always dead on with this program.

Are you trying to merge the files before burning to DVD? I have had problems with synchronization after merging movies before the authoring.

Just leave them as seperate files, then use menus to pick which one you want to go to. You don't have to merge them before authoring if you don't want to.

If you aren't merging them, then I have no idea why you might be having these synch problems without more info.

thanks for that i will give neodvd a go, nothing to lose!

I am convert single movie files and there still out of synch and when i convert more than clip and they merge the synch is still out, i have no idea why, the audio synch is fine on my pc but when i convert avi or mpg files it goes all over the place

extremely frustrating

What's the framerate of your source, what's the audio format of your source, what template in TMPGenc are your using to convert?

My first quess would be that you have an odd framerate (23.976fps, 25fps, 15fps, etc). You can work around some of those (23.976fps) others are more tricky.

The audio could be encoded as VBR MP3 with TMPGenc does not handle well. If so you'll want to generate a CBR PCM/Wav file of the audio and use that as your source when you encode.
