SUPER encoder - audio out of sync

[zfishman]

hello i recently downloaded the SUPER video encoder and it's great! works very smoothly and well =) i had one very minor problem that maybe someone can help with. when i convert a video to almost any format, the sound lags behind just slightly, a fraction of a second but enough to know. i've tried all different settings to no avail. any suggestions? thanks

What's the source video? How was it captured?

the videos i've converted are originally wmv format. the picture looks fine, just the sound barely out of sync.

I have had NOTHING but trouble converting wmv stuff. They always seem to go out of sync. The length is part of it. For short wmv files, 22 minutes of less, there is no problem, but longer files lose sync. The only ways I have discovered that work to prevent sync loss are one of the following:

1: Mediacoder. Mediacoder is a work in progress, and has lots of problems, but when it works, stuff stays in sync.

2: convertxto dvd.

3: Use Windows Movie Maker to convert to DV than use TMPGEnc or CCE Basic to encode to mpeg.

thanks! i'll try that

In SUPER, the most common cause of sync loss is not selecting the same frame rate for the output video as the original video. (SUPER apparently doesn't attempt to guess or set it for you.) I don't know how well it works with WMVs, though.
