Hi, I'm having a problem here.
I'm trying to encode films and stuff I've recorded off TV (DVB-T and -S cards). All the stuff is already demuxed in projectX and cut with Mpeg2Scnitt. I thought everything was going OK, but some are losing sync, it seems to be the films (ie longer) but other than that it seems to be random. The one I really noticed, the audio was fine early, but later was half a second behind.
What I'm doing is
>Setting project to DVB
>Setting encoder to Xvid - Constant Quality
>Setting Container to avi
>Dragging in the video file
>Checking aspect ratio is what I want and then using 'Smart Crop'
>Telling it to encode.
It's not the source, if I just mux the original files together they are in sync.
I tried x264 on default constant quality, but that took 4 times as long and produced a bigger file. And for some reason I tried it on a fresh encode, which was then fine when I tried Xvid.
I know I should have muxed in the temporary audio file with the originals to check it is in sync and then would know it's the video's fault, but I deleted everything in anger.
I really just need this to work now and then learn all the gory details later, my HD is broken and keeps dying, so I need to clear it so I can RMA it and my other is not big enough to hold everything so I'm trying to shrink these to put on DVDs. I was just making DVD-videos which were all fine, but that's a waste of discs and I don't even have a TV to plug my DVD player into.....
