Chapters out of sync with video

[gkar]

Whenever I rip DVDs (using GK 0.33.1), DivX the movie, then convert to Matroska with chapters, the chapter markers are always out of sync/alignment with respect to the movie by about the same amount of time; approximately 1-1.5 seconds. Any ideas.

[list=1] The current release of GK is 0.35.
Are you converting avi to mkv or are you encoding into mkv?
What tool(s) are you using for chapter point setting?[/list=1]

Jggimi,

I tried encoding straight to Matroska but GK could not rename chapters from within the GK tab & encode with new names, so now I encode to avi, then convert with VDubMod.

Have tried using the chapter file created with DGIndex & chapterxtractor.

I don't have MKV expertise, and no one else has answered here, so I'll move this to the New A/V Containers forum, where you're more likely to get assistance with container management issues.

perhaps the nearest keyframe is always 1-1.5 seconds after the chapter marker...

also, sometimes the chapters on the dvd itself isn't frame accurate.

I have manually adjusted other movies using VDMod and there are keyframes in alignment with a break in the movie to where you expect a new chapter to begin.

also, sometimes the chapters on the dvd itself isn't frame accurate.

Wouldn't be well written then.
