Scenaid - Adding silence when not needed

[recoil47]

I have a problem. I am doing a backup of an older movie, and Scenaid seems to want to add 3336ms of silence to the audio tracks --- which screws them up!

Why is it doing this?
How can I bypass?

Its been months since I have had an issue, and I haven't run into this one before....

Thanks

hi recoil47,
as i posted in another thread, i do not know of anyway to turn off the option within scenaid that fixes the delay at the beginning of an audio track.
the only work-around would be to use delaycut AFTER you have scanned the folder with scenaid to pad the audio with silence, OR adjust the start time of the audio track in scenarist before you compile the project

How do I do the Scenarist thing? That sounds like the easiest. Bear in mind I really know nothing about what these programs do. I merely follow the step-by-step guides. :)

So can you spell it out for me and I'll give it a try?

Thanks!

well ... to be honest, using delaycut to cut the added silence from the audio streams would be the simplest way to go.

having re-read your problem, i dont believe that you can set negative start times for audio in scenarist.

There is not possibe to set start time for audio when audio delay is "+", only if "-"

I use DVDLabs's AC3Delay for this types of delays, or BeeLight is i need to get WAV file from AC3 w/o delay
