Instructions on how to use delaycut?

[digifruitella]

I demuxed an audiotrack (AC3) using DVDDecrypter from my R1 T2 Extreme edition and it came out with -608 ms...

first of all, what does it mean when there's a negative sign before the 608ms, and second... how do I get rid of this delay with delaycut? or is there another program that I should use?

Thanks

A negative delay (-608 ms) means delete the first 608 ms.

In DelayCut you only need put
Delay:
Start: -608

i have another question, this is about BeLight.

when you have an AC3 file with some delay,and you open it in BeLight...there's a little box that automatically gets filled up with the right amount of delay, what does this mean? That it takes care of the delay? or it just shows for the sake of information that this is how much delay the track has?

assuming if I'm correct, so if I open that AC3, and the delay box gets filled up and I break the AC3 down to 6 mono waves, or to stereo or to any other format. it would correct the delay?

This means that BeLight has picked up the delay from the file name and would now pass it down to BeSweet as part of the encoding commandline. e.g. if you had seen a delay of -43 ms there, this would in turn reflect in the BeSweet commandline as BeSweet.exe -core(...-ota( -d -43...)

The DelayCut method is useful when you want preserve the original ac3 file without transcoding. The delay precision is an ac3 frame (32 ms. for 48 KHz).

When you want transcode to other format is better set the delay in uncompressed state with a precision of 1/48 ms (1 sample).
