Anyone ever have progressive out of sync errors?

[DrStoooopid]

I had a fresh XP install SP2. Latest Gknot rip and codec pack and here's what I get.

Sound starts out correctly, as the movie progresses though, the audio becomes more and more out of sync (by as much as 30 seconds towards the end)...

At first I thought it was FPS error, so I double checked my framerate, and it was 25...so I thought, yeah that was it, because I didn't set it up right, and changed it to 23.976 like it was supposed to be.

Re-encode...same problem.

any ideas? or should I just give up on Xvid? I really liked the video results, but the audio being out of sync, I just can't live with.

That has nothing to do with the codec, I'm afraid.

[DrStoooopid]

well what does it have to do with? It doesn't seem to to this with DivX.

Did you reencode the same movie to DivX with AutoGK?

XviD (codecs in general) don't change the framerate, so a _growing_ lag in audio cannot have its origin there. (A very small, constant lag could.)

I think your first idea was correct, the mistake lies in the IVTC process. As I am lucky to live in PAL-country I never have to bother with IVTC. But if you :script: somebody else might be able to spot the flaw.

Yeah, I redid the same movie in DivX 5 (whichever version is in the codec pack)...no problems at all. (NTSC region 1 video source)

I'd much rather prefer to use Xvid..it's free...I think the video results were much better, visually speaking...and it's free.

It's just aggrivating that I can't seem to get it set up correctly to get a good rip.

I also noticed that the 2nd pass seemed to take a bit longer. Like pass 1 might take 6hrs, pass 2 might take 8.

and the other annoying thing was that I could set it up for a 700 meg encode, and I'd wind up with 709 or something.

The first thing that would come to my mind if I have a problem is to make sure I have the latest versions of all software installed. In your case (Auto?)GK, and XviD. (Don't forget to load the default settings after installing a new version of XviD.)

Apart from that: Searching in the forum database (that is what you should have done before asking) returned some threads in the AutoGK subforum which described problems similar to yours:
