  1. I was ripping an old family video from a CD/DVD and I found the video to be ahead of the sound track. I believe an easy fix would be to load the video on Avidemux and reduce the delay of the soundtrack. I am yet to try that because as soon as I imported the video on Avidemux, I found that no sound was playing even though the original video on VLC Media Player had sound. Then I discovered about the meaningless time stamps on the video. I am attaching the mediainfo findings below for reference.

    Even though it shows here the duration to be 14s I can absolutely confirm it is more than that as I myself had been watching the video for more than 5 minutes before discovering all this. What can I do in this case to properly timestamp the video and correct the sound delay ? Even the seek function in VLC seems to be broken for this particular video file.
    Since I am not sure which topic should I post it under, I am currently posting under the topic "Software Playing" as the error might be attributed to specific media player as well, but again I am not so sure about it.
    Any help and advice on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks
    P.S. A picture of the VLC dialog box in Fullscreen mode

    Try to remux the file, seems it has some issues, based on the info in mediainfo.

    Set the "output format" to Mpeg-PS Muxer, create an mpg file, and try that

  3. Thanks a lot @davexnet , that tip definitely worked out for me and the time stamps looks to be corrected now.
    But are you sure that I won't be losing picture quality over this remuxing process ?

    No change to the picture. It's not re-encoded just rewrapped in the different container

    Provided you have the AVIDemux Video Output on Copy, you won't get any recoding.

    That looks like a standard VOB to me; ~1000mb, it should give you a video length of around 20 minutes. If it is being smart-copied/rendered, it will fly through it in quick time, probably a minute or so. If it was being re-encoded, it would take much longer.

    You can see this difference yourself: do one export with the Video Output set to "Copy", then do another export with Video Output set to "Mpeg2ff". "Copy" took 1 minute on my system with "Mpeg2ff", the full re-encode, taking around 15 minutes.
