Audio not synced

[mrgasman]

I have ripped Air Force One with smartripper then audio with DVD2AVI then used TMPGEnc to put them together. I am pretty new and used pretty much the default settings. When I choose audio it shows track 1,2 and so on but which do I use? I can preview the video but not the audio. I used the wav file for my audio input. It came out good but the sound is not synced with the movie, it runs a bit early. Any way to fix this? What did I do wrong? Any help. tThanks

If the file is in .AVI format and the lack of synchronization is consistent throughout the film, you can adjust it, using VirtualDub as follows:

1) Load the .AVI into VirtualDub

2) Set both "Audio" and "Video" to "Direct Stream Copying"

3) Under the "Audio" dropdown menu, select "Interleaving"

4) Set the "Audio skew correction" as is appropriate (This make take several tries to get it "just right")

5) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save as AVI" and save with a new filename

If, as I suspect (since you refer to TMPGEnc), it's in one of the MPEG formats, I'm afraid the above won't be of much help...

Let us know of your success ;>}

Used WAV file

I used the wav file as input, per the directions that I have.

"I used the wav file as input, per the directions that I have."

I don't understand the significance of this statement. Is this in response to something in my post? If so, what?

AVI or WAV

You said in your post the instructions were for an AVI input. I have instructions(right or wrong) that says do not use the AVI file for the sound input. I was simply saying that I used the wav file and is there any way to fix the sound or should I start again? What instructions might you recommend to try again?
Thanks

Be good enough to answer the following:

1) At some point in your processes, are you creating a .AVI file that contains both video and audio? If so, what is the audio format?

2) What are you ultimately trying to create with TMPGEnc?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are first creating an AVI file in DVD2AVI, with both audio and video(before you get to using TMPGEnc), then follow the information I previously listed for you. Once you've gotten the .AVI file properly synchronized, you can load JUST that file into TMPGEnc to create an MPEG1, VCD, MPEG2, or SVCD file (you've not made it clear as to what your ultimate desire is). There is NO reason to extract and use a separate .WAV audio file.

Goal

I wanted to have some movies on my hard drive to watch and also put them on CD's. I am just starting and am confused as to which programs are going to make this easiest. The programs I used seem to work ok except that the sound is out of sync. Is there anywhere I could get instructions step by step to work me thru this? Thanks for any input.

the way you decribe seems pretty much ok

maybe you can find some helpful hints HERE
