Strange interleaving issue

[m0rtal]

I've been using XviD, OGG and Matroska not for the first day :)
Everything went smooth until I've got a new DVD - Narc and tried to compress it. Video compression is OK, audio - too, everything fits on one CD (700 megs), but audio and video streams aren't synchronized.
OK, no problem - I thought. Spending few seconds looking for exclusive moment (when man shoots), interleaving it with audio, setting them to fit... but oops, here comes the pain!
Before that shooting moment audio outraces video (runs before), after that particular moment - falls behind.
I've tried almost everything! :angry:
Turning IVTC on and off, changing video and audio encoding settings, changing framerate - gives no effect! God damn...
Anyone knows what's wrong?

I'm using latest uManiac's XviD (17.7.2003), latest ffdshow alfa (2003-05-23), avisynth 2.52, vorbis tools 1.0.1 under Windows2000

Avisynth script is really simple - just import video through MPEGDecoder and crop black borders.

XviD settings are:
Motion search: 6
Quantization: H.263
FourCC: XviD
VHQ: 4
Chroma motion on
B-frames: 2-150-70
DX50 b-vop
Curve aggression: Medium
High distance: 200
Low distance: 70
Strength: 50%
Trellis quantization on

MPEGDecoder is probably your problem...It shouldn't be used for NTSC stuff. :(

Re-Encode with mpeg2dec3 and your problem will probably disappear.

I've tried Mpeg2dec3...
Avisynth returns error:

Avisynth open failure:
Evaluate: Urecognized exception!
(D:\DVD rip\NARC\VIDEO_TS\Narc--mpegdecoder.avs, line 2)


here is avisyntsh script:
LoadPlugin("...\...\...\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
MPEG2Source("Narc.d2v")


I think I should transfer this thread to avisynth forum...

Well, since DVD2AVIdg comes with it's own MPEG2Dec3dg.dll, I'm pretty sure you should use that instead of the old one you seem to be using...

np: Autechre - Windwind (Incunabula)

on that weekend I've tried Donald Graft's Mpeg2dec3 - everything works just fine!
But...
When the movie is interlaced, that dll makes "something" that prevents Donald Graft's Decomb filter to work properly - the resulting frame is still heavily interlaced :( Only turning on chroma deinterlacing (chroma=true) helps a little bit... WTF?!
