Audio out of sync when converting mov to mpeg2 with k-lite and Reference

[encAmateur]

Hi,
I'm trying to convert PAL 50i mov files to mpeg2 using Main Concept Reference 2.2 and the K-lite codec pack. The problem I'm having is that 99% of the time the audio is out of sync. I managed to get around this a couple of times using the audio delay filter but as the delay is always different it's not really convenient to do this. Also, sometimes the files won't even open. I'm using Win7 64bit.

Stream Settings:

Total Bit Rate: 8000


Video Encoding Settings:

Program / Transport / System: Program

MPEG1 or MPEG2: MPEG2

PID: 481

Video Bit Rate: 7500

Frame Rate: 25

Horizontal Lines: 720

Vertical Lines: 576

Fields: Progressive

Pixel Aspect Ratio: 16x9

Full First GOP: No

I Frame Distance: 12

Profile ID: Main

Level ID: Main

VBV Buffer Size: 224

Audio Stream 1 Encoding Settings:

PCM or AC-3 or MPEG1-Layer2: MPEG1-Layer2

PID: 482

Bit Rate: 256

Sampling: 48000

Number of channels: Stereo

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated...

Please post a MediaInfo report about the contents of the problematic .MOV file.

FWIW: in my limited experience with MCR, it seems to work "best" when given a "fake" (Avisynth-based) .AVI source (created by makeAVIS, and intermediated by ffdshow).

Thanks for the reply Space1999. I'm going to try that with Makeavis now and hopefully that will resolve my problems. In the meantime below is the relevant mediainfo file.
