Synchronisation Video/Audio

[scotty]

Hi all,

after going through the dvd2svcd I have some dvd titels where the audio and the video are not synchronised. The gap is between 8 sec and 2 minutes, but it is constant.

What is the easiest way to sync the streams without going through the whole process again?

My idea is to set up with the bbmpeg with the expected audio delay...is this a good way? What must I do to get the right ini-files for bbmpeg and then vcdxbuilt...

any hints welcome...

That will work to an extent, but the maximum delay you can insert in bbMPEG is around 32 seconds, so if you off more than that, you'll have to do something else.

Just a note, if you use the internal ripping routines, you usually will not have any problems with A/V sync.

Lots of Luck

Ok, I will try the internal routines next time.

I did it with DVDDecrypter 3.0.

Is it realy a problem of decrypting?
I thought the decrypting is a 1:1 copying of data files
from the DVD to the harddrive.

Hello,

Maybe you could try Smartripper 2.41. That's the ripper I use to copie my dvd's. DVDDecrypter is a pain in the ass! I used it but I get also problems with my movies.

Even if you use SmartRipper the official position is to pipe the rip through internal routines to avoid possible problems that have happened in the past, mostly with A/V sync.

If you ever have a DVD that the internal routines won't rip (in my case Swordfish) use SmartRipper to rip to a temp directory and then use internal routines just like you would rip a DVD only this time select the IFO file in the temp directory. Just be sure that you do not set DVD2SVCD to rip into that directory effectively copying over what you are ripping. Once DVD2SVCD has completed the rip from the temp directory you can erase the files ripped with SmartRipper.

No, it's not a problem of decrypting. It's just the way the internal routines handle certain things like the warnings and ratings screens which tend to throw off the A/V sync.

Unless you run into a problem DVD, the internal routines work great. If they fail to rip the DVD properly, then do as markrb suggests and rip using SmartRipper or whatever and pipe that through the internal routines to avoid the A/V problems.

Lots of Luck
