View Full Version : PVA demux

When I demux a PVA stream with either ProjectX or PVAStrumento I get a DVD with good audio sync.
But in the process of demuxing both ProjectX and PVAStrumento chops up the 27 minute PVA stream to 23 minutes.
When I demux in ProjectX with video error correction disabled I get the full 27 minutes demuxed but the DVD becomes hopelessly out of sync.
Playing the PVA stream by itself with the original timestamps intact, the video naturally plays perfectly in sync.
Is such a time deficit to be expected and acceptable with what I think is a nasty PVA stream?
Or is there another method of authoring a DVD from such a stream without having it chopped up this way?

It happens, I did one 4gig file that demuxed down to only a few hundred megs

You can always try Tpvr Converter, it worked for me for the file I mentioned above. (Use no conversion video mode).

Where could I get Tpvr Converter?
I am very anxious to try it.

TRvrCon could not handle my .pva file.
But this is what worked for me:
First converted .pva file to a .m2p (mpg2) in ProjectX.
Then a simple demux in TMPGEnc.
I found that the audio needed a -300ms delay and then the finished DVD played perfectly!
And I got the entire .pva stream without loosing a single frame on DVD!

I did have to re-encode the demuxed video track for Schnitt.
But then Schnitt did handle the video and audio perfectly and all was setup for authoring a good DVD.
