Hi, have a big problem with different musicvideos and the crappy sound in
some of them, specially the one from the 60s like shindig, hullabaloo, and others. I have tried other swedish forum on this subject but no luck, mabye this is the right forum, Now to my question. I'm trying to change bad waves with good ones, for exampel the Vogues - You're The One, the sound is to loud and you can't make it lower because of the loss of sound,
so i will change the sound with a new digital one. i'm using tmpgenc to rip out the wave from the Vogues musicvideo and musicmatch to convert a good Vogues mp3 to wave. After that i'm using Goldwave 4.26 and open up my wave-files and compare the wave-files with each other and do some clipping and cutting so the files are about the same size, here is the big problem, even if the sound is starting at the same time i'm either loosing speed or the sound is going to fast in the middle of the sound, so when the sound is reaching the end i have about 1 or 2 second of wrong speed,so when i'm looking at the video the sound and the lips are unsynct.
in Goldwave you can reduce or increase speed but it wont do you any good, the problem is still there, belive me i have tried this for a long time now. Is there a program out there that can help me or can somebody ho tried this and with success managed to do it help me with this very annoying problem.

The time duration of you audio needs to match the time duration of the video. You can't simply cut off the end and have your audio and video sync. Instead of clipping and cutting, what you should be doing is time stretching and shrinking. You might be able to get it to work using BeSweet's frame rate conversion option. If not then you will need some thing like cool edit, or sound forges stretching option. Gold wave might have that option but I'm not very familiar with the program.:) :)

I want to thank you for you're help with this problem. You don't now how much you helped me but it's a lot. After you wrigth stretching and shrinking i realised what was wrong, cool edit or sound forge could not help me, but i found a little program called FlexiMusic WaveEditor, there you can stretch and shrink exactly how little and much you need. If you are planing to do any wave-changing i can recomend this software.
