Video/Audio Sync
Help!!!!
I am having serious problems decoding and converting several dvds….I have experimented with different programs, trawled forums and downloaded all sorts of codecs….
I am running Xp home on a P4 1.9ghz, 512mb Rdram, Geforce4 440ti with TDK cyclone 32x Rewriter and separate DVD rom
Software:
Flaskmeg 0.594
Smartripper 2.41
Advanced bitrate calc 0.904
Virtualdub 1.410
Windvd 4.0.5.20
I can extract the DVD to h/d (although I get an aspi warning sometimes) using smartripper and windvd.
I then use advanced bitrate calc to work out the bitrate using 96 kb/s 44100hz single channel stereo sound and tell it I want a single cd sized file ( I always get a file 200 mb bigger ?! )
I think everything up to now is ok
- although pleases correct me with any pointers-I am a Newbie!
Using Flaskmpeg I open dvd file and it detects all vobs w/o any problem, I select 0x80 audio file.
In options/output format options I select the Divx 5.01 codec and under ‘configure’ I leave all settings to default and 1-pass
I then select the audio codec – mpeg layer 3 and 96 kbps44100hz stereo lame 11 kb/sec sound – Why does flaskmpeg never keep his option if I go back into audio codec options later on?
I ok everything along the way and then open ‘global project options’ – compile whole file is ticked, 25 fps (PAL) width720x576 is left untouched: decode audio and 44100hz ticked on audio tab; HQ bib filtering ticked, keep aspect ratio, no letterboxing and no crop ticked; because I’m saving as separate files I only put one file path in under the ‘files’ tab
< GASP FOR BREATH! >
I start conversion and wait 4-5 hours…. I pretty much always get a full file but the audio always seems to be both out of sync and stretched… NB usually the video is good quality.
I have tried using different codecs – I think I’m using Radium mpeg 3; and played around with trying to do streaming and produce separate video and audio (AC3) files (when I did this the video was terrible quality)
Is there any pointers that anyone can give me – I’d read guides about re-syncing the audio to the video and the dealing with the stretch but SURELY there must be a way to rip without having to do this every time ( I haven’t tried it yet but given the avi’s I’ve got and the fact that some of them are up to 5 secs wrong one end I can just see a host of heartache coming my way if I attempt it )
Suggestions of any alternative software that doesn’t give this problem would be most appreciated too…I’ sorry I’ve been long-winded but thought too much inf better than not enough!!!
