Subtitle Synch Problem

[adyf]

Below is how a forum member solved his subtitle synch problem. Just wondered if someone could explain his process in more detail as i seem to be having the same problem. Thanks for your patience.


ha well, sorry about that...eventually solved this issue
to whoever is interested, the problem was, since it's NTSC, was drop frame issue...now i couldn't find a subtitles ripper who managed to ignore the drop fram and rip them as they are...so eventually i had to use pulldown to set the movie into drop frame...then everything was perfectly in synch

thanks alot for your help here though

It's been covered here before quite a lot. When running pulldown just use the following command (i.e. add the drop frame part):

pulldown.exe input.m2v output.m2v -drop_frame true

If you don't want to run pulldown, e.g. because it's already been run on the video stream then just use:

pulldown.exe input.m2v output.m2v -nopulldown -drop_frame true

If using Maestro, when imported it will now treat the video as DF and subs should sync. There may be other ways of setting the drop frame flag, but this certainly does the trick, and is easy if you have to run pulldown anyway.

Thanks Matthew it worked a treat :p

I have also used this to make my subs sync correct

But sometimes i get another problem. After the pulldown the audio gets out of sync.

Why is that ??
