    I can't work out why

    i'm having a problem with an Xvid file, playback is pefect on my pc but when copied to either CD or DVD for watching on a tv the voices are horribly out of sync does anyone know what the problem might be. i have a mpeg4 player and this is the first time i have come across this problem.

    regards BradG

    this usually works:

    download Virtualdub (free)
    VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for Windows platforms. It is streamlined for fast linear operations over video.


    change the audio to a .WAV file using Virtualdub. Load the file. Go to "video">Direct stream copy. Under "audio">full processing mode, Click "audio" again. click Conversion check 48,000Hz and check "high quality" and ok. Go to "audio" >compression, select "no compression" (PCM) and ok. Finally go to FILE> save WAV. this will produce a .wav file (audio only).


    when its done, load the original avi file again under file. go under audio, select full processing mode, go to audio again, select wav audio. load the wav file you made earler.

    under video select direct stream copy>file>save as avi.

          play the burnt cd on your computer and see if the audio is out of sync. This will eliminate the possibility of your dvd player choking on the burnt cd

                    you must remember that the file starts out in perfect sync the problem only happens when copied to cd/dvd media.

                      what are you using for burning?
                      maybe a change in software will help.
