Hey all. I've been doing dvdrips/svcd --> divx, etc.. for a while, so I'm pretty accostomed with that already. For the first time today, I decided to do a rip with subtitles.
It's some anime in japanese, so I need the english subtitles to understand - dvdrip btw. So I do the typicaly I do w/ videos when I do sbc encoding - deinterlaced it, changed fps from 29ish to 24, etc.. The video comes out fine. I added the audio to it, it was all fine.
The problem is w/ the subtitles.
Now what I did was clip out a portion of the whole DVD - I only wanted a specific scene, not the whole thing. Now, before I actually thought about it, I just added the subtitles to the encode (using nandub and adding a vobsub filter).
In retrospect, it dawned on me that the audio/video were cut/clipped, but subtitles weren't! so i figured i would have a big problem there with sync.
(for the record, my audio/video started 2 secs into the whole dvd, but ended like 30 mins from the beginning).
so i reasoned the sync would be off by about 2 secs, with the video/audio being ahead.
turned out the out of sync was a little more than 2 secs - more around 10.
i'm still hunting around for guides and stuff on the net, but i was wondering if any of you have any quick tricks/suggestions i can try.
i'm currently re-doing an encode w/ just audio and video hoping to be able to just add subtitles in later.
if i don't know how much out of sync it is, what's the best way to do it? i've had to do syncing problems before, but enver with subtitles.
thanks.
