AVI Conversion - Audio out of sync

[pinovecs]

I have an avi (XVID) file that I want to play on my Playstation 3. The file plays fine on my PC and the audio is in sync. When I try to play it on my PS3 is states that it isn't a compatible file. So while it is an XVID file something isn't formatted correctly - at least for the PS3.

I've tried to convert it using VirtualDubMod but when I do that; first it gives me an error that the audio in the file is VBR and might have sync problems when I open it and then once I convert it to an AVI that will play the audio is off about 1 or 2 secs behind.

What are my options? I could try to align the audio files (I found some tips on how to do this) but that seems kinda hit or miss and might not work very well and is time consuming. I figure maybe I don't have the right tool or I'm using the right tool incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance....

ps - I have successfully created/converted files on my computer that play fine on the PS3 so I know I have good versions of various CODECs.

Maybe you should identify what is causing the problem? e.g. it might be the video (e.g. qpel, gmc), or audio (e.g. vorbis).

Use mediainfo (view=>text) for more information, and/or gspot on your file

vdubmod is old and hasn't been updated in years. Newer versions of vdub and avidemux handle vbr audio much better

sorry...I'm kinda a newbie when it comes to conversion...or at least troubleshooting conversion problems.

I've used Gspot..should I post the file details from Gspot back here?

I also use VirtualDub but VDubMod seems more friendly.

What tool do people recommend for conversions? I said I used VirtualDubMod, but it really was via AutoGK front end.

Thanks again....

Yes you can post the text info from mediainfo or a screenshot of gspot, it might help identify the problem

As I said earlier, newer versions of vdub and avidemux handle vbr audio fine. There is no reason to use vdubmod in this regard
