WinAVI Audio Issue?

[Dilbert135]

I've got WinAVI 7.1, which is was very impressed with, if for no other reason than the quick time it takes to convert to DVD MPEG2 at an alright quality but on some of the DIVX or Xvid Avi files that I'm converting, I get a drifting audio sync problem. I know this is a common problem with Divx, and I don't want to annoy the hell out of anyone by repeating newbie questions but could someone throw out a few links or steps that would work well with WinAVI and this? I was thinking something like extracting the AVI audio and running it through another program to get the seperate AC3 and then plugging the converted video from WinAVI into TMPGE DVD and mixing it with the seperate AC3 but I'm not sure what is the easiest and most automated way to rip and convert the AC3 audio; I'm a complete newbie when it comes to audio conversion. I hope all that didn't sound too convoluted or confusing. Please help!

There is a synch section. Hit advanced at the conversion screen. Click on the encode tab and upper left you can adjust synch.
I'm not sure if this helps but Crystal Player pro has a manual synch adjustment. You could try running the file through that, finding out how much the adjustment needs and enter it in Winavi.
I've used Crystal Player Pro to adjust audio on pc to standalone. It worked fairly well.

Here's what I see in the encode tab. Are we talking about the same program or am I missing it? Either way, thanks for responding.

Any suggestions?

I can give you one. I am not sure you will be happy with it, but you asked anyway. Don't use WinAvi.

What program would you suggest?

[Abond]

If I could you suggest a single programme that do it all without a glitch, I would do it in my previous post. I am using at least 6 programmes depending of what I want to achieve, and also depending how problematic is the source (in the case of problems with the source the number of the programmes can increase to 10). Do you wish still some guidelines?
P.S. Overall you can try avidemux 2.

Oops, sorry that was DVDSANTA that has the delay option for both video and audio.


I have never used the delay function.

Hi Dilbert135, have you ever contact at the winavi support on this issue? If not, you'd better contact them support@winavi.com for some solutions!
Actually, I used the winavi for a long time to do avi conversion, and never experienced any problems!
