I'm not really sure where this topic belongs, as it will span many of the Doom9 forums, so I'll just post it here, and trust that someone will put it where it belongs, if this isn't the best place.
The problem:
I am using A Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 card to capture mpeg2 video (with mpa audio). I would like to strip the commercials and store the resulting video and audio as XViD and mp3 cbr respectively in an AVI container.
I would prefer to edit-out the commercials prior to using dgindex, besweet, avisynth and VDubMod to process, transcode and mux the audio and video, but the I start running into audio synchronization problems; I assume that dgindex is identifying the audio delay at the beginning of the clip, and assuming (reasonably) that the same delay must apply throughout (in fact, I can't think of any easy way to have variable delay throughout a clip).
I could split the clip into several clips (approx. 6 per episode) and join the subsequent AVI files, but that seems awfully onerous.
So, the question is: can anyone recommend relatively easy process that will allow me to take an mpeg2 file and transcode it to a DIVX5 compliant AVI file without commercials, keeping audio and video in synch?
I only need the process (and recommendations regarding the appropriate tools).
Thanks for any help.
