Audio getting more out of sync?

[R2-D2]

Hi,

Firstly, I'm a noob at this, so please be gentle.

I've used AutoGK to do many excellent encodings, but one particular re-encoding gave me audio that gradually drifted out of sync and after 30 minutes was about 30 seconds out of sync (behind the video). I tried every setting I could find, then I noticed the agk_tmp directory and the stuff left from doing the second pass, so I could have a fiddle directly. After much head scratching I discovered that if I changed this line:

movie = DirectShowSource(<AVI-FILE>, <FPS>).KillAudio()

to:

movie = DirectShowSource(<AVI-FILE>, <FPS>, convertfps=true).KillAudio()

then it all worked fine. I'm not sure if this is the best way to solve the problem, but it seems like a simple and straightforward fix (and I'm not sure why it isn't the default, or an option at least).

The source material was DIVX (I think it's DIVX 4) and I have the latest codecs (on a clean machine). I was re-encoding it to XVID so it would play on my standalone player properly.

my agk temp dir doesnt have that file at any point during encoding :(

Sorry! The file in question is the one ending in "_agk_movie.avs" (the first part is the name of the file you're converting). The line I changed was about the fifth one down (the first real line after the LoadPlugin() bits). I found that you could make this edit then load the "lastjob.vcf" file directly into VirtualDubMod (in the VDubMod directory where AutoGK is installed) via the File->Load_processing_options menu. For me, this ran the second pass of the encoding again. Wiser people than me might know whether this modification would also have helped on the first pass...

These files are in the "agk_tmp" directory that AutoGK creates in the same directory as your output file.
