HELP?? , Playa sync problem !

[cipher]

untill today i have ripped like 10 or so movies (which were all success)
and never came across the famous sync problem.

which seems to happen only with old movies.
dunno , maybe a coincidence?
and only happens on The Playa.

anyways , im trying to rip the movie SPACEBALLS (a parody on star wars)

im using FlasKMPEG

with DivX - bitstream : 899 kilobit/sec
1 - pass

and audio - MPEG layer - 3 : 128 kBit/s , 48,000 Hz , stereo 16 KB/s

frame size: 608x368

time base : 23.976 fps

at the beginning i thought it maybe a time base error but i changed the time base to all the options possible there and i still get the same result - the sound is not in sync with the movie.

please help?

and only happens on The Playa.

If it only happens in the playa then its a playback problem.
Most likely caused by an overworked CPU, try using a lower post processing level.
Or just use wmp 6.4, it's the least cpu hungry player, and have no sync problems (In my experience)

thanx dude
my last question is how do i lower the post processing level ?

FlaskMPEG, as wonderful as it is in other respects, has been notorious for creating out-of-synch problems if you convert using MP3 sound. Instead, do your Flask conversion using PCM 48,000 sound. Then load the converted .AVI DivX file into VirtualDub and:

1) Under "Video", change the selection to "Direct Stream Copying"

2) Under "Audio", change the selection to "Full Processing Mode"

3) Under "Audio" select "Conversion" and change to 44,100 - You won't discern any difference in sound quality and it requires less overhead to run! (Slower/underpowered systems can handle more easily)

4) Under "Audio", select "Compression" and select MP3 and whatever sampling rate (within the 44,100 group) you wish. For films other than those with a great deal of high quality music, I've typically used 96Kbps with no discernible loss of audio quality.

5) Under "File", select "Save as .AVI" and provide a new name for your new file.

Let us know of your success ;>}

OK for unknown reasons postprocessing level has been renamed CPU(quality)

In wmp6.4 you can change this by selecting files->properties->advanced->DivX Video Decompressor->properties->CPU(Quality) slider

In any version of windows that has been downgraded to wmp 7 or 8, u can still run wmp6.4 by selecting run in the start menu and typing mplayer2.exe
