Audio out of sync

[miles6699]

Recently ripped a divx 5 movie 700MB with mp3 audio using gordian knot. When i play the movie the audio runs ahead of the video...I am running a p2 400 with 128ram...wondering if it is the cpu or if there is a way to pre-load audio to combat the video lag...also when i view the stats of the avi file it says the audio is at 48khz 117khz/s is this ok...anybody

That is the source of the problem. Your CPU, at 400 MHz, is not particularly fast enough for this resolution. Reencode the movie at a lower resolution (I recommend no higher than 512x288) and the problem should go away.

I have converted from Divx format to SVCD, it looks great but out of sync. I used Tmpg VBR (2 pass), CBR was brutal.

My question, what sources are out there that will allow me to get the MPEG file in sync, without having to re-encode from Divx. Will Virtual dub do it & if so will I loose my video quality.

Any help is appreciated.

Nope, for MPEG2-SuperVideoCD you can't use VirtualDub.

You can use TMPGEnc...

synch problem solved

well you were right, once i lowered the resolution and encoded again the problem was solved, wll almost solved, i went down to 512 lines so it still skips if i'm using alot of ram but otherwise it's good.....thks
