View Full Version : NTSC A/V Sync and other pobs

I am pretty new to Linux ripping, and am having some serious problems with my rips.

Specifically, I can't get most movies to rip with a proper A/V sync. I have been using dvd::rip, with the use psucore enables, and a transcode option of -M2. This seems to get the sync right at the beginning of the move (assuming I use AC3 sound) but by the end of the movie the sound is usually off by more than half a second. Often, if I encode sound to mp3, the A/V sync is off at the start and just gets worse.

Also, I've been trying to rip some TV shows (Walking with beasts as an example) and have not found a setting that properly does inverse telecine. The best I can get is with the deinterlace selector (under the transcode tab of dvd::rip) and select inverse telecine. This works, but still leaves a perceptible skip every half or 3/4 sec.

Also, I'd really like to use a non-gui method of ripping, rather than the gui based dvd:;rip.

Would anyone out there with more Linux ripping experience please give me some insight into how I can get good rips (like I used to with my windows box) under Linux? Especially without a gui and without a whole lot of testing for each rip.

Thanks a lot, I'm really frustrated so far!

Well i can see that things are difficult, but I am not frustrated, rather the opposite.

Granted, I had so much to do as of late that I hardly could pursue anything video related with Linux, but in theory with some time available you should be able to fix any problem.

I recently started using dvd::rip and like it so far, cant report the same problems you had.

Cant help neither but maybe in some time.
