Ahh, 5 for 5...audio out of sync! What is wrong?

[Topshelf]

Guys, I have tried everything I can possibly think of. I can not get any movie I convert to stay in sync. Converting AVI to either VCD or SVCD the audio is ahead of the video by seconds within 2 minutes of the movie. I am matching the framerate to the original AVI, I am also ripping the audio with VDub first. I've played with almost every setting in TMPGenc possible. There has to be a solution. It's driving me nuts cause I got a whole boatload of movies I need to convert, but nothing works. Is there another program that's worth trying out? I'm even at the point where I'm willing to lose some quality just to get results.

Please Help me out here.

I can give ya a couple of suggestions, first try and extract the audio from the .avi and list the wav in the audio source of tmpgenc. the other is in tmpgenc itself, do every thing you are doing and go into the advanced/source range in the settings and don't change anything with the start or end frame what you want to do is change the audio gap correct at the bottom you may want to test a few min of the encode to see if you need to tweek a little more with the time offset.

hope this helps..

Thanks Jeff. I actually THINK I may have solved my problem. And if it does I'm going to post a new thread up with the answer just because I did a search and apparently alot of people are having the same problem.

FOTD mentioned in a reply about ripping the audio in VDub with full processing on and converting to 44K. I never knew about that. Just did a basic audio to wav rip. Seems to have fixed it. In the sample atleast. I'll know in 40 minutes if it worked through the whole movie....fingers crossed.

Yes, both VCD and SVCD use audio sampled at 44.1 kHz. Although many DVD players can handle 48 kHz audio on S/VCDs, some cannot.

Regards.

My friend's VCD player has this problem also. We fixed it by adding a small mpeg intro file at the start of every VCD. We grabbed it from an anime vcd that he bought. I can send you the mpeg if you'd like.

Thanks everyone for the help. Looks like I solved it though. Yippeeee!

If anyone is having problems with audio you may want to give this a try.

Open up VirtualDub and load the avi file. Select Audio\Full Processing Mode. Then Choose Audio\Conversion and set it to 44100Hz. Then just select Save Wav and wait about 3 minutes. Finally use that as the audio source in TMPGEnc. Worked perfectly for 2 movies in a row so far that wouldn't make it 2 minutes without losing sync before. Not very complicated once you figure out the little details like this.

Again, thanks everyone for the help. This place kicks ass!!!
