Can't seem to fix my audio problems added clip

[bg63s]

I used the method using gold wave and no change. The video is fine, when i look at it in sony vegas it looks fine, but after encoding the audio is too fast. Both the audio and the video is the same length. I don't know what to do now ot fix it. Save them as separate mpg from vegas and see if that works is my next step but if that dont work i dont know what else can be done.

tried to doing the audio separate and it got even worse, so now i dont know what to do

Can you post a Gspot screen shot of the original video? Mask out the title if you like. Without knowing what you are starting with, it's about impossible to give any suggestions. You should be able to slow down the audio with Goldwave or Audacity. I'm suspecting a problem with PAL<>NTSC conversions or MP3 VBR audio.

Well here is a clip fo the file. As you can see at the end, the audio is too fast, its starts before you see the announcer.

The file that I downloaded from the link, the video is doing some strange stuff that I haven't seen before and I am getting no audio, although it says that there is audio in the file.

Do you have the original file (or part of it) that you could upload?

Without having the full video, I can't say for sure but it looks like the audio is too early. I added around three seconds to the beginning of the clip and it looks OK but now there is silence at the beginning of the clip. Looks like the original is MPEG2 since it won't open in regular Virtualdub. You might try a program like AutoGK which seems to handle the time offset alot better than Virtualdub to convert to AVI. The wavering video seems to be a huge problem though. I cropped the outer edges and resized but you can still tell the video is out of wack.
Maybe someone who has shot alot of video can take a look and be of more help.

You say everything looks good until you encode with Vegas? By looking at your Computer specs, I'm wondering if you have enough CPU and memory. XP needs 512MBs of memory just to run the OS and I believe you need a P4 or AMD Athlon to process MPEG2 and 1GB of memory is recommended. If I remember right, Vegas is pretty memory intensive. I tried running Vegas on my old HP and it wouldn't run at all.

I think the image looks bad because it was recorded off of a tape and the tape probably had those problems.

I try to change the time code feature but that didnt do anythign wither. I only got 256 mb of ram. When you insert silence in the beginning the audio length is longer than the video and you just multiplex them???

I' dont mine uploading the whole file, just a matter of how
