101091 ms delay?? MeGUI/x264

[nunya]

So I have this video that I ripped quite some time ago and am only getting to it now. Using MeGUI to convert to x264 I have an audio delay of 101 SECONDS! For the life of me I can't get the audio and video to mux and align properly, with the audio rolling in 101 seconds, or thereabouts, after the video starts. Setting the offset to -101091 puts the audio before the video starts ????

I can't for the life of me find anything that will take the completed video and allow me to shift the audio, i.e. Viddubmod, without having to convert to an avi file.

Is there any fix for this as this whole process is severely time consuming, having to redo it multiple times....

You can use avidemux to shift the audio

What was the source? Was it decrypted properly? Do the audio & video durations/lengths match?

whew, one more program added to the bunch.......

Source? DVD ripped vob files using decrypter a while ago.
Properly? I'm assuming so, but how do I check, the folder structure appears to be like any other movie I ripped.
durations match? hmm, this i'm not sure how to check, again, I ripped using dvddecrypter thru the GK interface a while ago.

I'm trying to redo it AGAIN with megui....this is probably my 6th attempt so far...

MeGUI does bring up a warning window saying the delay, 101 seconds is very large and to use the "tool" to check if it's correct, but I'm not sure what that means.

------------------------------------------------------------------

So I do it again and the audio doesn't start until 1:42 into the movie. For some reason, if I were to set the delay to -101091ms, then the audio begins before the video???? I don't understand...

Sometimes there are bad numbers in the audio delay if the VOB file(s) have silent cells included in them. MeGUI uses DGIndex, which can reproduce this error if silent cells are included at the beginning of a VOB. My recommendation would be to use DGIndex manually and set your indexing start point (would be "Point A" in some video editors) after anything at the beginning of the ripped VOB(s) that isn't part of the main movie. MeGUI may be able to do this automatically (hence the prompt you saw) but I don't have any experience with such a situation in MeGUI.

Yes. Use DGIndex to step in by GOPs (use the > button) until you see some video that is not just black. Then hit the [ button and save your project.

I just tried shifting the audio with AVIDEMUX, the problem is, if I synch the audio and video with the first few minutes, I have to go about half way thru the vid to resynch with the voices, which then desyncs the beginning?!?

Now, now I'm reencoding for the 7th or 8th time, not knowing if I need all the audio streams or not. I don't get it, i've never had this many problems before!

Hi!Source? DVD ripped vob files using decrypter a while ago.What is the Title and Region number of your original DVD?

[poisondeathray]

You might want to use DVDFab HD Decrypter instead of DVD Decrypter, the latter hasn't been updated in quite some time. Several people had similar issues to what you describe, because source wasn't properly decrypted

If that doesn't fix it, try what neuron2 suggested

Saw4
region 1 i believe

I don't have the dvd so I can't re-rip. What I don't understand is if the audio is delayed 101 seconds, then why doesn't shifting the audio -101 seconds fix it? I just tried another encode with a -101 second shift and it puts the audio to far in front of the video...?

I've never used DGI by itself, always with another program.....looking into it now
--------------------------------
now the audio tracks are giving me a -151ms delay....?

So in MeGUI I created the AVS script and running a new encode with a more reasonable delay of -151ms, that was set by MeGUI when I opened the audio stream......let's see how this one turns out.

thanks for your help in the time being...

--------------------------------------

Well it looks like that worked! The only thing I cn surmise from these events is that MeGUI when using DGI does something different that when using DGI by itself. Megui creates an audio stream of 101secs, whereas, using DGI manually, I guess you can say, creates a stream delayed only -151ms...huge difference.

thanks for the advice.
