Video and Audio out of SYNC???????

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I'm using The latest versions Panasonic and Ligos to try and Encode my AVI's to Mpeg-1 VCD format. It works well other then my Audio goes out of sync about 20 minutes into the movie. Is there a Better way to encode so that the Audio and Video stay in Sync?

Use VirtualDub to process the AVI. Load the AVI, and select frame rate from the menus. You can resynch your AVI before MPEG encoding. VirtualDub is a freeware program, I don't have a download address at hand.

Panasonic and Ligos are basically good offline encoders whose outputs basically reflect the quality of the input. I encode MJPEG-encoded avi files with the Panasonic up to 30 mins and the audio and video stay in perfect sync. Your problem must lie with the type of avi files you're feeding to these encoders. Merely playing these files back with their native codecs to check and indeed finding they are in sync doesn't guarantee the same with the produced mpeg files.

Typically this is a capture problem and not the encoder. Somewhere along the line during capture there's at least 8% or more frame loss. This problem exist even with mpeg1 stream capture if motion estimation rate are set too high during capture sequence. Same goes with AVI. lnguyen
