DVD lab ac3 audio out of sync problems

[Wilson]

I used the latest DVDlab 1.3 and are experiencing mpv ac3 out of sync problem.

I do not have this problem before.

The original mpv mp2 file looks in sync, but then when I convert the mp2 to ac3 and create the DVD, it looks in sync on the computer but out of sync on my pioneer standalone player.

Is it some setting I need to change? or is it a bug in the latest version?

Thanks

How did you do the VIDEO encoding?

I only ever used DVD-Lab once and got audio sync problems so I decided NOT to register it since two other authoring programs worked with the same files and when I say worked I mean no audio sync problems.

I latter found out that the "problem" might have been the way I encoded the video.

I was doing a NTSC capture that was telecined so I did IVTC on it and encoded it as 23.976fps progressive in TMPGEnc. I did the IVTC in AviSynth so upon loading the AVS file into TMPGEnc it saw the file (properly) as being progressive and set it self up to do a non-interlaced encode with 3:2 pulldown.

And that I think was the problem. My understanding is that DVD-Lab does not like the way TMPGEnc does 3:2 pulldown.

So you have to encode as straight 23.976fps then run PULLDOWN.EXE on it afterwards (which is normal with CCE and can be done with TMPGEnc).

I never tried because my trail period ran out but based on othre user comments that most likely was the problem.

I use TMPGEnc DVD Author now which I registered and I am rather happy with it
