FLV to DVD sync issue

[littleroot]

Hello all you wonderful people who help us! I've been asked to solve a problem and the goal is they need a video they created burned to a movie DVD disc:

A non-profit for kids lost a hard drive and their only copy of their finished movie was on the flip video website. I managed to get the FLV down to my hard drive and it plays fine, if even at a low res. Audio is in sync. I've tried using the Windows 7 Live Movie Maker and Windows DVD maker a couple different ways and every time the audio is way out of sync. I think what I would like to do is extract from the FLV the audio and video separate and then put them back together in windows movie maker, or I might buy the vegas studio for this.

Any suggestions for me?

Thanks!

FLV and WMV are often considered "end of the road" video formats....it's not easy making something from them once they are in either of these two horrendous formats. Sometimes you get lucky but most often you get major sync issues. Your bets bet is going to some intermediate format like uncompressed AVI first, fix the issues there...then create the terrible looking DVD once everything is synced.
Windows movie maker is NOT gonna do much good....and buying Vegas will be a waste of money.
Believe it or not I often use Super to get from FLV to something else.

can you post the mediainfo readout (view=>text) copy & paste it back here. If it's variable framerate you might have sync issues unless you attempt to convert to constant framerate


you can try other software as well .eg. avs2dvd

I've had some luck with DVD Flick encoding the FLV dirtectly.
Also, installing FLVSplitter and using AVStoDVD may also work.

OK, hey, DVD Flick made a nice DVD folder with video and Audio_ts folders.

Now I just need software to right these folders to disc. I googled for this and a youtube movie said I should get nero from thepriratebay. I'm sure you guys have a better option, no?

I downloaded AVStoDVD but it looks like it wants to re-encode.

Please send your suggestions!


Thanks again!

avs2dvd included imgburn and this loks like it will do the job. Thanks, guys!

Imgburn is generally recognized as the best burning app. at the moment, and has no problems with video_ts folders.
If DVD Flick works go with it. I only mentioned AVStoDVD as an alternative.
What do you mean "wants to re-encode"? You're starting with FLV aren't you ?

Hi, After DVD Flick made the Video_ts files I was confused as to what to use next, but I read the imgburn help guides and found how to burn the video_ts files. That program is awesome and so is this board!

Thanks again guys!
