Double Sided DVD - Audio out of sync 2nd part -3ways encoding

[j77]

I have searched the forums for over two hours now But Cannot find something that will answer to my Q, even though have found similar threads.

I have a double Sided dvd : half movie on one side the other half on the other.

Encoding : DivX5 - Audio original dvd Ac3 2.0 192 stream
Audio Delay : 0ms

Case I:
Load All Vobs from dvd2avi simultaneously create one big d2v file and encode as whole. D2v produces 1 audio ac3 192 2.0 0 ms delay

Result: Audio out of sync on 2nd part of movie.

(Have Done this before on a movie that had half the movie on VTS_07_xx and the other half on VTS_08_xx audio delay other than 0 and it worked just fine)


Case II:
Encode as two seperate Jobs - 2 different d2v etc
Both Audio streams come out with 0ms Delay

Result - Both encoded movies play well and in sync.
Joining them In Nandub - Saving Avi -> Audio out of sync on the 2nd part.

Case III
The Joined Avi from Case II muxed with the audio from Case I
Result - Audio out of sync on 2nd part of movie.

Any Ideas?

Thank you in Advance,

Well, there's nothing wrong at all.
ACtually that was my original intention so As to avoid joining / cutting and re-calculating for subtitles/chapters/videos.

There is one problem with this particular movie though.:mad: The first part is not very compressable while the second is extremely compressable. Where I get a 70+% compressibility check for the 2nd part I only get 40% for the first on the same resolution. (both parts are of the same duration around one hour) I wanted to give more space to the first part and less to the second to achieve best quality.

My other options were
1. encode in different resolutions so as to achieve best results for each part
2. encode 1st part with say 900Mb and 2nd part with 500Mb then have on the 2nd cd the 200Mb of part1 and the 500 of part2. but that means three different avi files on two cds.

Anyways I ended up giving less space for the 2nd part came out around 450 MB and put it on a cd with the ending of another movie.

Work arounds I could find...
It's just one of those things that sits in your stomach and you just wanna know a good solution and not just a work around. Simple curiosity "how is this done" "why is this happening" ... :):confused: one of those times when you can spend hours inf front of a screen until you find that it was a simple stupid thing that you couldn't see. :)
