Warner Bros. Blue Rating Screen causing audio out of sync...HELP!

[PB Junior]

Guys,

Trying to back up Collateral Damage. Problem is my audio is out of sync by 7 or seconds. I used the search engine and found this

Rating Screen causes Audio out of sync. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=11836&highlight=warner)

Can someone tell me the trick or how you backed up this movie?

TIA!

I have same problem with Collateral Damage. Using DVD->DVD-5 "Full Copy" Instructions.

Sound is off by 6-7 seconds.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

Shree,

Okay...this is what I know. I'm doing the Trilight Backup guide as well. Load up DVD2AVI and load the VOB's. Do the preview...pay attention at the Audio in the stats window! You will notice:

1. Warner Bros. Home Video logo plays with sound
2. Blue Rating Screen plays with NO sound and the Time Stamp stays still at 12 seconds.
3. Warner Bros. Logo plays again with sound starting at a 0 time code.

Step 2 is the problem. I removed VOB Cell ID 2 which is the Blue rating screen with VOBrator. And now my sound is in sync but, its not playing in home player after I burn. I hope one of the Senior memebers can help us out.

Hello,

Had the same problem with ripping the movie Heat. After reencoding with cce (frameserving with DVD2AVI) the ac3 file was about 10 seconds shorter than the m2v file. After investigating a little bit futher the sound of the first part was missing (an extra blue cloudy sky with warner brothers logo). The solution for me was ripping only the movie and one audio track with the smartripper streamprocessing option selecting direct stream copy. With that you get a new set of (smaller) vob files. Selected these vobfiles with DVD2AVI and the extra WB logo was gone and the movie was the same length than the ac3.

Greetings,

Henk-Jan

I had this same problem with Harry Potter. The sound was about 6 secs off from the video and the ac3 file was bigger than the m2v file. This may sound crazy but here is how I fixed it. I used AC3 Delay Corrector and ADDED (yes, you read that right), 6 secs to the ac3 file and the movie was then in sync. I know that doesn't sound right, with the original ac3 file being larger than the m2v file, but for some reason it worked.

Just drag the audio track to 6sec or whatever make it synch in Maestro. So easy....

You can even use the numerical values to set a more precise audio start. You can just use difference between video length and audio length to find the value to use.

How do you drag audio to -6 secs in Maestro? Everytime I tried to drag it snapped back or crashed.

I dont have preview in Maestro as I dont have Cinemaster2000 installed.

Thanks

don't know. Install CineShit mAster 9 as i did and you would have a nice 4 fps preview,.

But anyway, without preview, here is what is look like , check the jpg attached

Thx ops to accept to allow this jpg which could be a formidable trojan (Why do we need check control on images ??? any lethal virus known on bmp or jpg ??? forget about that, just drunk tonight, wife went on bed telling me to swap on TaquillaX which is via2 now grrrrrr)
