View Full Version : Audio out of sync

I have some MPEG2-files (hardware encoded by my capture card) and was going to convert them using VirtualDub-MPEG2. (I tried VirtualDubMod first, but that always crashes after a hour or so.) My problem is that after I have cut out some commercials and converted the file the sound is out of sync...just a little bit, maybe 0.1 - 0.2 seconds, but enough to be annoying.

What should I do? I would prefer to continue to use some version of VirtualDub, but advices on other programs are welcome too.

I use the XVid codec for video and no compression for the sound (because I will use another program to remove noise from the audio).

This can be corrected using VDub/VdubMod/Vdub-Mpeg2 as all have similar properties regarding your particular problem on sound.For this I suggest you to read Virtual Dub procedures (http://www.doom9.org/virtualdub_procedures.htm)no compression for the sound (because I will use another program to remove noise from the audio).
I think after doing noise removal using the another program employ the above mentioned method,as it would be easier or more useful.(if you try on uncompressed one and then do noise removal,the other program may cause delay.)

It can't always be corrected. VirtualDub-MPEG2 ignores time stamps and rff/tff flags, which is surely what causes your desync. Consider switching to the DVD2AVI + Mpeg2Dec3 + Avisynth + VirtualDub approach.

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow.
