Need advice about splitting AVI file

[darkobserver]

Let's say I have this movie as an AVI.

As usual I saved the sound separately as .WAV with VirtualDub, then encoded the first half of the AVI to MPEG-1 with TMPGenc.

Then I did a second encoding setting the source range for the 2nd half. I used the same audio file I used for the first MPEG and the result is, that the audio and picture are out of sync, audio is behind in fact.

What did I do wrong and what's the correct way to do it?

Thanks a lot

I do not know what you did wrong, but you may want add silence to the end of the second audio file to re-synch it with your second video file.

Thanks for trying to help, but if you read again you will see that I wrote there is NO second audio file, just one containing the audio of the whole movie and I used it with both encodings.

I expected TMPGenc to be clever enough to find the correct position when encoding the 2nd MPEG, but somehow it isn't?!

You may want to note exactly where the second video file begins, load the original video into Gold Wave.

Cut or Delete the first part of the Gold Wave audio. Save the remaining audio as a wave file.

Remux like you did the first video file, using the second voideo as input video, and your new wave file as input audio.

Hey, that sounds like a good way to do it! I never used Goldwave before, but I will give it a try and let you know, what happened.

Thanks
