sound out of sysnc (> 10sec)

[eagle]

as I did not find any information on my special problem I have to post it :
a PVA - recording from a DVB-PC-card (approx. 120 minutes) has to be changed to SVCD. The original film (PVA-file) is perfect. The result is totally out of synch. The voices are more than 10 seconds late. This can already be seen if you watch the "bbMPEG_Mux_File". In the logfile it says in "bbMPEG - settings" - "movie offset 2 seconds".
Does anyone have an idee what I can do ?
Thank You - Gerhard

I have noticed that if you watch the mpg file in Windows media player it is way out of sync. If you play the same file in WinDVD it plays perfect.

Try it in PowerDVD 4.0, WinDVD 3+ or on your stand alone player.

Hi Mark,
unfortunately it does not change anything.

You can remux the movie and play around with the settings for startup delays on the bbMPEG tab. Since the sound is 10 seconds late, put 10000 in the video delay and restart from muxing and cutting. Then check out the resulting mpg file and see if it is in sync. If not readjust the startup delay and try again. It may take 2 or 3 tries but it will work. Just one thing, the maximum delay is a little over 32 seconds, so this only works for delays less than that.

Good Luck

I have expierienced this on several occaisions now. only in my case the audio is approx 10 secs early.

I have tried as Markrb suggested & played the movie in winDvd but it still comes out the same.
(i use Powerdvd as default)
I even burned one of the Cue's & it's the same.

I tried Crash recovery when it happened in 1.06 b1 & it was the same.
it has also happened in 1.06 b2 pre1. I also tried a crash recovery & it reported in BBmpeg (No Audio file found)

What I have found though is a pattern!

after selecting the Ifo file the program seems to Identify the movie as Ntsc! even though the movie is PAL.
& the NTSC to Pal box becomes available. (Pulldown!)

if I create the copy in this instance the sound is out of sync.

what I did to get round this, is to select a small IFO & copy that.
then when I re-start Dvd2svcd & select the movie IFO it correctly identifies it as PAL & the Ntsc to Pal box is greyed out.
the copy is always successfull afterwards.

hi Slick !

thank You very much. It works.

I have made a small dummy-PVA-file (3 mb) and start DVD2SVCD(NTSC to PAL is available). After it has finished , without closing the program,I just open the file I want to convert (NTSC to PAL is not available this time)and the result is perfect !
Probably nobody knows why, but it works !

Nice weekend - Gerhard

I have an idea to why this failed (or can fail). Today I discovered that if I had deleted my titlepicture and I then tried to load an PAL ifo fil, I would get an error message of title picture not found (which is what it should do), however, that error message somehow halts my VideoInformation routines and makes dvd2svcd think that it is a NTSC movie you're going to encode. I will ofcourse fix that. (other error messages could have the same effect).
