Hi all... I am having a very frustrating problem using CCE and Adobe Premiere 6.0. Let me give you a rundown of what I am doing. I am using DVD2AVI to open original DVD VOB files in Premiere. I am using the Force Film option in DVD2AVI so that I can edit the files with frame accuracy. I've decoded the AC3 audio file and have all 6 tracks as audio streams in the project. Playback in the project viewer works great! Audio is in perfect sync throughout the film and it looks great too. I've used frame server to export the video to encode in TMPGenc with the built-in 3:2 pulldown option in TMPG to convert it back to 29.97fps. The final MPEG2 file stays in sync with the audio but since this is a long movie and I plan to burn it to a DVD+RW I am forced to use a relatively low bitrate and I have not been happy with the quality in TMPGenc. So I decided to give CCE a try...
WOW! CCE 2.64 has given beautiful video quality results at the lower bitrate and is very fast. But now I am having a problem that I was not experiencing before. CCE is lengthening the movie slightly so it results in audio sync problems within the first 20 min of the movie. The project in Premiere is 2:15:05:10 while CCE detects the length as 2:15:06:20 (this is based on a 24fps timecode). The resulting movie has been stretched a total of 1.41666 seconds. I'm pretty sure that I know what the problem is but I don't know how to correct it. I did the math and the difference in time is %100.0174. The difference in time between 23.98fps and 23.976fps is %100.0166. Premiere only has the option to set the framerate to 23.98fps in your project. I think CCE is assuming that the film is really 23.976fps which would slow the video down %100.0166 like what I am experiencing. I have tried exporting the project with both the CCE premiere plug-in and using frameserver and encoding the file in the full CCE encoder with the exact same result. I've searched this forum for anyone with a similar problem but was unable to find anything. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the help!
