PAL -> NTSC Problem with VCD-mpeg

[q-tip]

Hi,

OK, I know questions like this are often asked here but I've tried already, search and tried like it was mentioned here but id didn't work.

I am from germany and I've downloaded an english TV-Rip (NTSC, 29,97 fps) a few months ago. Now, i've got this episode on PAL-VHS (25 fps).

Capturing from VHS to mpeg gives not the best quality i've thought so I only recorded the sound as a wave file and wanted to fit it to the ntsc-mpeg stream. The problem is, as you probably know, that audio and video are drifting away from each other (in sync at the beginning, getting with the time more and more out of sync).

Somewhere here in vcdhelp-forum I've found a way to change the audio frame rate with besweet, so I changed the german audio stream from 25 fps to 29,97 fps. The result was, that the audio stream was to long now and the voices where lower than before.

Earlier, I got from other episodes of this series german audio streams from the internet. This streams were fitting exactly, correct length, correct sound of the voices, everything in sync. I know that this streams were also made from german PAL-VHS, so how did this people made this?

I also recognized the following: The theme from the series, sung by a male, sounds higher on the german VHS (on TV, too) than on my NTSC-mpeg, so I think that with the translation and NTSC-PAL conversion the length was adjusted. I mean: In german the voice is higher than in english. The translation was probalby made after this process, so the german voices are sounding normal.

Which I don't understand: The converted german audio streams from the internet are sounding EXACTLY the same as on the PAL-VHS, so the person who had adjusted it, must have made something different then simply changing the frame rate. Otherwise the german voices would be also higher, wouldn't they?

So my question: How can I convert the audio to fit, without changing the video from NTSC to PAL (which I've also treid but ended in the same problem, which I didn't understand, too)

So, thanks for reading this much and please help

sorry to say this but you cant have both ntsc and pal together its one or the other . Best bet is to capture both audio and video together in either ntsc or pal.
