Hey. This is my first post, so please have mercy! I have searched the forums (and the web) looking for an answer to my problem, but I have yet to find a solution.
Here's the deal. I'm trying to edit out some foul language out of a DVD (actually this post applies to two DVDs, but I'll focus on this one) to make it family-friendly. I've done this with one other disc and had no trouble whatsoever. However, whenever I load the movie into VDM 1.5.10.1 build 2349, the audio does the following:
start of the movie - audio is on sync
roughly 15 sec. into the movie - audio is about 1 sec ahead of the video.
roughly 2 minutes into the movie - audio is a full 1000ms ahead of the video.
the audio then linearly changes from 1000ms ahead at that point to 700ms ahead at the end of the movie.
Needless to say, this makes it VERY difficult to edit the movie!!! :D
Here's what I have tried:
Ripping to VOBs with SmartRipper, then combine into 1 VOB with VOBMerge.
Demuxing to m2v and ac3 with SmartRipper.
Demuxing the one VOB to m2v and ac3 with Rejig (both with and without audio delay).
Using AC3Machine to process the ac3 (in case the source audio is VBR, I thought this might convert to CBR).
Flasking the one VOB to DivX without audio (add audio later with VDM).
Flasking the one VOB to DivX with audio separate (add audio later with VDM).
Flasking the one VOB to DivX with audio.
I've all audio and video output in every combination possible. I have set audio and video to Direct Stream Copy and Full Processing Mode. I have set the video framerate to "match the length of the audio file".
The only success I have had is when I flask the video and the audio together. Then they load in perfect sync in VDM. This process takes a long time, though (I only flasked about a seven-minute segment), and I reeeeealllly want to keep the movie as ac3 and m2v files as I did with the other disc I edited (the result was a quality almost as perfect as the original).
I read recently on another post that:
you shoudlnt use VirtualDub-MPEG2/Mod to decode MPEG2. it does not interpret the time stamps correct resulting in desynch.
If this is true, why did they name it VirtualDub-MPEG2??!! Why did I have no trouble with the other disc I did?
Also, I have tested VDM with two other discs (I ripped them before loading them into VDM) in my collection and found that "Ice Age" works fine while "The Iron Giant" does not.
Could someone give me a clue to wazup? Thanx! Sorry about the long post.
