Picture and Sound out of Sync

[Jasmill]

Craig, Wee, all I am trying to do is get my Memento.avi burned to a DVDr. Every time I encode using my regular method the audio is out of synch. I dug up this old thread because you mentioned the movie specifically. In the thread you said that the synch gradually got worse, which is my problem. Later in the post Craig mentioned that using a huffyuv compression got the synch problem constant. From there it was a simple matter of telling tmpgenc the disparity through out the movie and encode the movie with the synch with that number (-1000ms). Like I said, my only wish is to have everything turn out peachy on the DVDr. I could care less about huffyuv or any other codec for that matter, as long as my finished product looks good. I just wanted to know how Craig got the movie's synch to be constant. Sorry for the confusion.

Right forget huffyuv, that is a video compression codec and although I mentioned that in a previous post I think it is pretty irrelevant.

If you encoded the movie as it was, because the audio has a variable bitrate compression, the audio would be out of sync and get worse and worse as the movie played.

To solve this problem you have to save the audio as an uncompressed wav file and use this as the source in tmpgenc.

This solves the problem of the audio getting more and more out of sync as the movie plays, but for some reason for this film there is a constant audio sync problem where the audio is approximately 1 second before the video, throughout the movie.

So to summarise save the audio as an uncompressed wav file in vdub, then use this wav file as the audio source in TMPGEnc. Select source under setting in TMPGEnc and set the audio gap correct to -1000ms (this is assuming that the video is 1 second behind the audio). Encode a minute of the film where there is some dialogue to check to see if this resyncs the audio correctly, if not experiment with different time settings.
