AVIMux and BeSweet - Correct Delay Setting...

[Farfel]

Hi, just a quick question. When I use AACMachine to create a .aac file after demuxing the audio with DVD2AVIdg, the .ac3 file specified a delay of -9 seconds. I inputed that delay setting into AACMachine and encoded the audio. When I went to mux the .aac file with my .avi file in AVIMux I noticed that when I clicked on the audio stream below, it automatically added -9ms delay in the box to the right. I thought by setting -9ms delay in AACMachine that it fixed the delay in the produced .aac file so it's -0ms. Should I ignore what AVIMux says and just set it to 0?

well I could be wrong but I think that avimux reads the delay information from the filename (ie. MOVIE NAME DELAY -9ms.ac3).
_if_ the aacmachine correctly handles the delay (which i don't have any experience), you can safely put 0ms in avimux :D

Yep, you're right. I checked it by temporarily renaming the original .ac3 file with the DELAY -9ms and changed it to DELAY -11ms. I opened it in AVIMux and it showed the delay at -11ms =).

Thanks a bunch.
