Cutting Problem with Virtual Dub (out of sync)

[lnetzel]

I have been trying to cut out the ending titles from movies in order to fit them on a CD... I have been using Virtual Dub a long time and I feel I know how to do it. I hav edone MANY times before without problems but lately everything I cut gets out of sync... ot the Audio dissapears after half of the movie...

I have the lastes DivX bundle, the Nimo Codec pack and Before that the Krystal Studio Pack

Since I can watch the movie before I cut it with no problem.. I guess I have all the codecs...

When I cut I set the start and End point and the set both Video and Audio to Direct Stream and then I save Avi... and the result is way messed up...

Is there something new i have missed out on??? Can't you cut certain movies with a special Audio codec or something...

I'm having the same problem, basically. I've got four eps of an anime that I want to trim to fit on one disc and while I just did one without any apparent problem, the next one I did, the synch is completely shot. I did it again, even shutting down VDub first, but no go. I'm following the correct steps as listed, so I don't know why this is happening. Any help?

Are you cutting the avi only at a keyframe (the correct way), or just any old frame?

[Dai_Maxwell]

After reading another post that mentioned keyframes, I tried that and it still didn't seem to make a difference. Could it just be 98's Media Player messing up and not an actual problem with the AVI? Any recommendations on an alternative AVI viewer?

Any recommendations on an alternative AVI viewer?

If a movie file plays bad in PowerDVD, then it is bad!

Oh no, I wasn't asking for any warez, just for any freeware viewers.

I thought PowerDVD only played VCD's?

I know you weren't, but I was suggesting where you might look to find PowerDVD, which plays everything.

[Dai_Maxwell]

Okay, PowerDvd only plays from a disc, right? It can't play an avi file on the hard drive, can it? If it can, I can't seem to find out how. If it can't, any suggestions for an avi viewer for when it's on the hard drive? I mean, I would want to be able to test it first before burning, right?

PowerDVD can play anything that any other player can play (usually much better), either from disc or from HD. There's a little button in the middle to select source, or you can use <CTRL> + O.

I'll be damned, you're right... Thanks a lot!

if you are doing everything that you say to do and it still doesn't work(with any movie file) what is the problem. Also the message that we are getting when we open our movie file.... what is that and what the heck does it mean, especially when almost every movie file has it.
