Timeline/audio issues in .VOD/AVI

[theidealpoet]

Ok so im new here and i was just reading the audio sync avi thread and i wasnt really sure what to make of it... so let me explain what is going on... basically i have a .VOD video file directly off a sony camera and the file will play ok... but to edit it i need it in a different format so i have been trying to convert it to avi or any format that will work in premiere but the issue is this: the timeline on the .vod says the clip is 9:46 m/s long however the clip is 26 mins long really... and even though it says its 9 mins long it will play the whole thing but at 12:59 m/s it stops running the time for abit and then restarts the timer at 0:00 after awhile and then plays out till 9:46. Now it is playing the whole clip but the timeline is just messed up... but when i try to convert it it either ends up with 9:46 sec or 13 min or it plays all the way through but after the 12:59 the audio is about 4-5 sec too early for the rest of the clip.... i have been at this for two days and i need this footage for a project.... i just dont know what else i can do...

What does gspot or mediainfo say about the .VOD file ? What kind of video & audio compression?

What version of premiere are you using?

i downloaded gspot and honestly i have no clue what any of the boxes on there mean... ... im using premiere cs5.5.... but i havent even got it to where it works in there yet.... i cant get the files to be right outside of premiere...

Perhaps the clip is damaged? Mediainfo reports it to be 9min 46sec as well

There is probably a glitch after that point, which causes the sync issues you are observing

Anyways, the way you import it into premiere is use vob2mpg to re-wrap into mpeg2 stream, and it will import directly

This won't fix your glitch. If you have videoredo you can try the quickstream fix to repair it . The other way might be to cut around that desync point

i have gotten other clips to work fine and i was converting them with AVS video converter but this one is just shot to shit i guess >.<

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.... AFTER 20+ HOURS OF TRYING TO FIX THIS YOU JUST DID IT.... VIDEOREDO FIXED IT ONCE I CUT STUFF OUT AND RE SEQUENCED EVERYTHING AND RECONVERTED IT... I HAVE IT IN PREMIERE NOW!!! YOU ARE MY SAVIOR!
