1080i .ts to 720p AVC x264?

[dssgorila]

I'm trying to archive some of my 1080i .ts caps to 720p AVC so i can burn the mp4 on a dual layer and watch on the PS3. I encoded a clip everything is fine except for the audio its out of sync. Here is what i did

I used Megui
First I ran D2V Creator. Then Create the AVS

DGDecode_mpeg2source("D:\HDTV\movie.1080i.dd51.0037.d2v")
tfm(order=1).tdecimate()
#crop
LanczosResize(1280,720) # Lanczos (Sharp)
#denoise
Sharpen(.3)
#Tweak(sat=1.3, cont=1.3)
converttoyv12()


What am I missing?

Different lengths between your source video and audio. Either there's an error in the source, or there's something getting messed up during the demuxing.

Are there commercials in the source files ?

Are there any recording glitches in the source files ?

Do you lose sync if you directly transcode with an app like MpegStreamClip ?

Try demuxing the source Transport Stream with MpegStreamClip and see if the lengths differ.

No commercials in the source in fact its only a clip. Well one thing I did notice is the change in framerates.
I'm going to test the App you suggested I will post back with results.

thanks

I know how to demux but how do i check if the lengths differ.

BTW I tried export to mp4 and selected 1280x720 and it worked fine no sync issues. Wish i could control the quality more.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't like how the codec choices are mostly limited to Snapple codecs, but it is pretty good for a few things.

I guess the easiest app to see file information would be Mediainfo.
